Neutral palmbob On Oct 15, 2007, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

This is a rare species in cultivation that closely resembles B recurvata, except it longer stems and a much sparser head of leaves- the leaves are a bit stiffer, but still recurve. This plant lives in a wetter climate than most Beaucarneas, but still seems to perform well as a deset plant and is extremely drought tolerant. It too gets a wide bootle-like trunk base, but not quite as striking as in most other species.
