Notes
Guadalupe palm (Brahea edulis) is a tree for borders, containers, and xeriscape gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is evergreen and drought tolerant, so it needs little care once settled.
Pairs well with Queen victoria century plant, Baja fairy duster, and Elijah Blue blue fescue.
