Positive palmbob On Jun 1, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

Very interesting variety of this palm, frequently sold in southern California... but so far no one's is turning a blue, yet. All palms seem to be coming from a few very blue individuals in Hawaii. So far it is not known if these palms will make blue progeny or not. The color of the leaves is really a pale blue-green-gray. Not that unusual a color of palm, but definitely weird for this genus.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Thousand Oaks, California
