Bismarck Palms, Wholesale Specimen Palm Trees

Bismarck Palm 24' of Clear Trunk

Originating in Madagascar, a large island off the eastern African coastline, the Bismarck Palm Tree (Bismarckia nobilis) grows in grassy savannas. The silvery fronds overlap into a spherical crown that sits atop a stocky trunk of grey or brown, creating a magnificent display of unusual foliage. Interestingly, genetics play a large part in the shade of silver that a tree will display, with some being green with only the slightest cast of silver, while others appear almost gilded in it. Each tree has anywhere from fifteen to twenty-five fronds or fans. Even though this tree is fairly short, its leaves can reach up to ten feet across, and about ten feet long, including their stems.

Bismarck Palms are fast maturing with a bold appearance

Overall these trees can reach a height of about forty feet, with a crown width topping out around twenty feet. Unlike many palms, it is much faster growing and can reach its mature height in less than ten years when properly cared for. Because of its bold appearance on its own, it is ideal if you only want a single tree, but can be overpowering in tight spaces, so is not appropriate for small yards or public spaces. The Bismarck palms look beautiful as singles, or in groupings or lines, as long as they are afforded enough space to grow.
