The Bismarkia nobilis or Bismarck Palm has a full crown of large, silvery-blue, circular, fan-shaped leaves and a tall, columnar trunk. The Bismarck Palm develops fairly quickly into a large and stunning tree that is excellently suited for the subtropical or tropical garden, for parks, and for breathtaking avenues. The Bismarck Palm is tolerant of drought and a few degrees of frost and wants a place in full sun.
