Common Name: Dwarf Rock Palm
Brahea moorei is on many growers 'want list' as it a magnificent palm, but an extremely rare one. This is a smallish, 'user-friendly', single or clustering palm with soft, blue-green leaves, no petiolar spines and nearly pure white undersides to the leaves. As a young palm it has relatively common looking circular green leaves, but as it matures (which takes many years) the leaves eventually turn a greyish-blue-green color with ornamental white leaflet divisions. Mature palms are scarce, if not completely absent, in California, but some are getting there.
