*Chamaerops humilis cerifera, common name:  Blue Mediterranean Fan Palm, Blue European Fan Palm***2 Plant Special*** *These are the more rare form of the well known and cold hardy Mediterranean Fan Palm, the Blue Mediterranean is no less cold hardy, but ultimately develops some of the most ice blue leaves of any palm.  Truly brightens a landscape, in fact, in full sun the leaves can often be so blue, they are nearly paper white.  And, best of all these are COLD HARDY to 5 degrees farenheit, thus giving those in the colder areas of the country an excellent tropical looking option. *Over time, these will often clump as they mature, forming multiple trunks bending away from one another, extremely attractive, especially when well manicured(old leaf bases trimmed off revealing the beautiful fiberous trunk).  Expect a palm that will top out at approx 10-15 feet, leaves 2-4 feet long, stiff and silver-blue, and cold hardy to 5degrees farenheit.  A very versatile palm, easily at home in a mediterranean, sub-tropical, arid(cactus-succulent), or tropical style garden.     *You are bidding on (2) lush green plants, 5-10 inches tall, with 1-2 leaves, and a healthy root system. ***Ready to be planted in a 1 Gallon container.***Note: seedlings are green, and over time, and exposure to sun, they turn a beautiful glaucous blue. *To SAVE on PLANTS and SHIPPING, check out our BUY 3 and SAVE *For more great deals on rare plants, Visit My eBay Store: Coconut Climber ***Most of our plants have been cold tested down to 40 degrees farenheit or lower, creating a much stronger, hardier, and tougher plant. ---BEWARE---Avoid palms grown in HAWAII, or very tropical locations, where they have never experienced any cold, will often die during transport, or from weather shock. Palms from locations like Hawaii can take several months to a year to acclimate from very tropical growing conditons, if ever. It is best to avoid these weaker untested tropical grown plants*** *Once palms arrive, they will benefit from being kept in a 1 gallon container, slightly moist, warm, and in a fast draining soil, such as Supersoil, or a quality Cactus-Mix(available at any Home Improvement or local Nursery Supply Center). Any of the following ingredients such as pumice, small bark chips, perlite, wood shavings, vermiculite, and coarse sand can all be used to benefit good drainage. Smaller palms typically favor filtered sun, or partial sun until established(approx. 2' tall or larger), when they can handle full sun. These palms should be planted at a soil height slightly above where the roots graduate from the base. Whether you are a 'green thumb' or a beginner, these are easy palms to grow, and will beautify your landscape.   *All palms are shipped bare-root, packed with the roots blanketed in moist sphagnum moss and wrapped in bundles surrounded with aluminum foil to ensure the best health for the plants. Shipping is via U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail, shipped on Monday or Tuesday, arriving in 1-3 days. *If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
