{"product_id":"palm-10in-bismarkia-silver-88641","title":"Palm, 10in, Bismarkia Silver","description":"The Bismarckia silver palm (Bismarckia nobilis 'Silver') is a majestic, solitary palm known for its striking, large, fan-shaped silver-blue fronds. Native to Madagascar, it makes a dramatic statement in large landscapes and thrives in warm, sun-drenched environments. \r\nFoliage: The standout feature is its stiff, silvery-blue foliage, with individual fronds capable of reaching over 3 metres in width when mature. A less common green variety also exists.\r\nSize: In cultivation, it typically grows to a height of 12 to 18 metres (40-60 feet) with a crown spread of up to 6 metres (20 feet).\r\nTrunk: It features a single, stout, grey trunk that can be up to 45 cm (18 inches) thick.\r\nGrowth Rate: The palm grows slowly when young but once it develops a trunk, its growth rate becomes moderate.\r\nLight: The Bismarck palm prefers full sun exposure, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct light daily to thrive.\r\nWater: It is highly drought-tolerant once established but grows best with regular, moderate watering. It is important to avoid overwatering and ensure well-drained soil to prevent root rot.\r\nSoil: The palm is adaptable to a variety of soil types, including clay, loam, or sand, and both acidic or alkaline pH levels, provided the soil has excellent drainage.\r\nMaintenance: It requires low maintenance. Pruning should be limited to removing completely dead or damaged fronds. \r\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need any more photos or additional information on this product, send us a message using the chat button on our website with the product name, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis plant has a representative product photo and the item you will receive may not be exactly as shown.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Morgan Creek Tropicals Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49707118428400,"sku":"85028","price":127.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/3617\/4760\/files\/85028-1.jpg?v=1786988767","url":"https:\/\/floralacres.ca\/products\/palm-10in-bismarkia-silver-88641","provider":"Floral Acres Greenhouse \u0026 Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
