why buy these palms?  These palms are an unusual silvery grey often referred to as blue coloured palm tree.  Chamaerops are very slow growing bushy palms which means they are ideal for pots or in well-draining beds, and particularly good for architectural interest in raised sleeper beds.   Provided the roots are kept dry over winter they should be fully hardy in well-draining soil in the UK.  These special offer palms are around 9-12 years of age and are well established at around 1.3m excluding the pot and around 70-90cm width.
