Bismarck palm at Fairchild Botanical Gardens, Coral Gables, Florida
by IslandJim Sep 22, 2002 7:30 AM
This is the first year I have seen this fruit on my Bismark Palm. Does anyone know if they are seeds?
by chuckedp Feb 14, 2003 2:15 PM
This is a typical Blue Bismark Palm. About $180 to $200.
by bradenton Apr 11, 2003 5:43 PM
This is an example of how blue this palm can get... this one growing in Thailand
by palmbob Jul 5, 2003 12:11 PM
Here is how this palm grows in Florida
by palmbob Jul 5, 2003 12:12 PM
THis gives you an idea how tall this palm can grow in the tropics... not in the US, though...
by palmbob Jul 5, 2003 12:14 PM
One of my baby Bismarckias.
by IslandJim Aug 26, 2003 12:13 AM
With it's gray color, it definitely stands out in a crowd. Allerton Gardens, Kauai, Hawaii.

Here is a poor photo but and unusual sighting- a branch off a mature Bismarckia. This one planted at a hotel next to the river Kwai in Thailand.
by palmbob Mar 8, 2004 5:30 PM
Though never really as spectacular as the blue forms, this a happily growing green Bismarckia (they actually perform better than the blue ones in tropical climates) as a hotel off the River Kwai in Thailand. Still looks great even if green.

This is my 4 year old Bismark Palm and I love him, he takes real loads of heat in our almost equatorial climate in Lahore, Pakistan. it shines silver in extreme heat.
by jawadkundi May 3, 2005 9:19 PM
out of the seed this one sure looks a promising one, when young almost purple.
by jawadkundi May 4, 2005 6:00 PM
though not as impressive as the more tropical grown examples, still a nice palm for Southern California

Seed of the best silver/blue form collected only from the best areas in Madagascar. From rarepalmseeds.

Much thought about it, in fact i've bought it in a nursery as ( Dypsis Decarii ) was very lucky . Got all 3 , hope it will get very silvery.
