Guadalupe Palm

Different sizes available

Guadalupe Palm (Brahea edulis), a palm species native to the island of Guadalupe in Mexico. With its striking appearance and unique features, this palm adds a touch of exotic beauty and elegance to any landscape. The Guadalupe Palm is cherished for its robust trunk, graceful fronds, and its ability to thrive in a variety of climates and soil conditions.


Care: Caring for your Guadalupe Palm is relatively straightforward, making it a popular choice for both experienced gardeners and beginners. Follow these care tips to ensure your palm thrives:


  1. Sunlight: The Guadalupe Palm thrives in full sun to partial shade. It prefers a location with bright, indirect sunlight for optimal growth. While it can tolerate some shade, providing ample sunlight helps maintain its health and vibrant green color.

  2. Watering: While the Guadalupe Palm is drought-tolerant once established, regular watering is crucial during its initial growth period. Water deeply, ensuring the soil is thoroughly soaked. Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering again. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.

  3. Soil: This palm prefers well-draining soil that retains some moisture. It can tolerate a wide range of soil types, including sandy, loamy, or clay soil. However, ensuring good drainage is important to prevent waterlogged conditions.

  4. Fertilization: Apply a slow-release palm fertilizer or a balanced, granular fertilizer specifically formulated for palm trees. Follow the package instructions for proper dosage and application. Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote healthy growth.

  5. Pruning: Prune your Guadalupe Palm sparingly to remove any dead or brown fronds. Trim the fronds close to the trunk without injuring it. Regular pruning helps maintain its tidy appearance and overall health.

  6. Cold Tolerance: The Guadalupe Palm is known for its exceptional cold tolerance, making it suitable for various climates. It can withstand temperatures down to 15°F (-9°C) once established. However, providing some protection during extreme cold events, such as wrapping the trunk or covering the fronds, is recommended for young or newly planted palms.
