Product Description

The Brahea armata seeds are moderately sized, rounded to slightly oval, and protected by a rigid, woody shell. Their surface is smooth but may have slight textural variations, displaying shades of reddish-brown to dark brown. Each seed measures around 1-2 cm in diameter and houses a firm, starchy endosperm, essential for its gradual germination. These durable seeds give rise to the spectacular Blue Hesper Palm, a striking silver-blue fan palm admired for its resilience and captivating foliage.
