Endemic to Mexico, an interesting palm with large beautiful green palms. -8 to -12°C (18 to 10°F). Available in 30-litre pots.
Erythea edulis, Guadalupe palm.p
This palm is endemic to Guadalupe Island, Mexico, where it is threatened and almost extinct, because of wild goats that were introduced onto the island: they eat the seedlings and fruit.
The leaves are damaged at -8°C (18°F), but mature plants can withstand -12°C (10°F). It grows faster than other Brahea, which enables it to grow a new foliage if it has been damaged.
It closely resembles its cousin Brahea armata, minus the bluish colour. It has strong features:a thick trunk, beautiful giant tough green palms, a very ornemental flowering ans edible fruit.
Place it in full sun, with moderate watering.
Edulis means edible; the flesh is mealy, yet sweet and pleasant.
