===Common Names:===
Bismark Palm

===Distribution & Habitat:===
Central and western Madagascan grasslands.

===Description:===
A spectacular tropical/sub-tropical fan palm with huge blue-grey fan leaves
up to 3m (9 feet) across. It has stout, smooth, grey trunk to about 10m (35 feet).
There is also a green leaved form.
It is dioecious which means that it has male and female plants.

===General:===
It was named after the 19th century German chancellor, Prince Otto von Bismarck, and is one of the few palms named after a politician.

===Culture:===
A very spectacular palm, and well worth a position
in any garden that can accommodate it.
It requires a sunny, warm, and well drained position and is drought, and frost tolerant.
The blue form is more cold tolerant than the green form, and can survive light frosts.
A reasonably fast grower for a large fan palm.
It is notoriously sensitive to root disturbance, and so is very difficult/impossible to transplant, and also need care when potting up or planting out. Make sure none of the roots are broken, and definitely don't trim any back.
