Pachypodium lamerei - Madagascar Palm

$110/1000sds

This is an attractive, slow growing, easy to grow and very interesting plant, not actually a true palm but a semi deciduous or deciduous semi tropical succulent stemmed tree growing to 1.8 - 2.5m tall, but often much smaller in cultivation.

It's stem/trunk is grey green with long thorns to 6cm long and has simple green leaves which are arranged spirally at the top of the stem/trunk. This species usually only produces a solitary trunk but branching can occur as a result of natural injury or in older specimens.

Plants only flower when mature, which is usually at 1.8m tall in Spring to Summer seasons - spasmodically through the warmer months, these are white with yellow centres and are aromatic, then followed by seed pods that resemble cucumbers which are filled with many white winged seeds.

A beautiful species which is sure to attract attention in any garden!
