Expert Tip
This palm becomes substantially more cold tolerant with age, and can tolerate some wind and salt.
Care & Size Guidance
Brahea edulis, although still relatively slow growing, has a faster grow rate than than the similar palm Brahea armata, and can be expected to grow about 30 centimetres in height per year.
Guadeloupe Palm will grow in nutritionally poor soil, but the soil must be fast draining, preferably in a sheltered sunny position.
Palm eventually arrived from courier in a van after an 18 tonner couldn’t reach my house. Palm (Brahea edulis) was in good condition and well grown. On the basis of what I have seen I would recommend the Palm Centre

Delivered on time as promised. Absolutely delighted with this specimen, approx. 1.4m high and a beautiful tree, much better than I expected.

Bought a beautiful speciment 10 yrs ago who is doing exceptionally well in a sheltered raised bed close to our boiler house, so I guess it gets a warm foot. Have never even covered it over the winter and it has survived the harsh winters of 2009/2010/2011 with trooping colours. It has grown 5x bigger in that time and I can only recommend this beauty. Given this earlier mentioned bed has a high clay content, this palm is easier than B. armata, which hates a wet foot. A rare and super plant!!
