Brahea armata is a tall palm that can reach heights of up to 15 meters. It features a solitary trunk adorned with fibrous leaf bases. The leaf stalks are armed with spines and can extend up to 1.5 meters. The foliage consists of blue-green, waxy leaves that measure between 1 to 2 meters in width, each divided into approximately 50 lobes. In summer, this species produces long, arching flower panicles that can grow up to 4 meters, showcasing vibrant yellow blooms about 1.5 centimeters in diameter. These flowers are followed by rounded fruit that is yellow-brown in color and approximately 2 centimeters in length.

Brahea brandegeei is a single-stemmed palm that is sensitive to frost. It features expansive, pleated leaves that can reach over 1 meter (3 feet) in diameter, displaying a green upper surface and blue-grey underneath. During the summer months, this palm produces cream-colored flowers arranged in branched clusters known as panicles. The trunk exhibits a wider base that gradually narrows as it ascends.

Brahea dulcis is a palm that can reach heights of up to 7.5 meters, featuring a solitary trunk. Its leaf stalks are spiny, supporting leaves that are green or have a subtle blue-green hue, divided into approximately 30 to 50 lobes. In the summer, this species produces panicles of cream-colored flowers, extending up to 3 meters in length, which are succeeded by rounded, green-brown fruits measuring about 6 millimeters.

Brahea edulis is a slowly growing palm characterized by a solitary trunk and broad, pleated leaves that can reach heights of up to 12 meters (40 feet). The leaves are a mid-green hue and develop a downward arch as they mature. The trunk has a grey-brown coloration, widest at the base and narrowing as it ascends. During the summer months, established specimens produce cream-colored flowers on branched inflorescences (panicles), which are succeeded by edible green-brown fruits.

Brassiophoenix schumannii

This genus comprises robust palms from South America, characterized by their arching, grey-green leaves that often droop. Some species are cultivated as stemless varieties, while others develop into small trees. Numerous Butia species bear edible fruits that can be processed into jellies and alcoholic beverages.

Butia

Butia archeri

This palm features elongated, gracefully arching leaves that exhibit a grey-green hue. It shows resilience to cold and damp environments, making it suitable as a specimen plant in temperate regions. However, in locations subject to severe winter conditions, it will need some form of protection.

A graceful palm, Butia yatay can reach heights of up to 10 meters, featuring a solitary trunk and prominently arching leaves that are segmented into many narrow, grey-green leaflets. During the summer months, it bears elongated, branched clusters of yellow blooms, which later develop into conical fruits that transition from green to purple. This species is resilient down to approximately -10°C, provided it is planted in well-draining soil.
