The caranday or blue needle palm, Trithrinax campestris, is a fabulously architectural palm native to Argentina and Uruguay. As a mountain palm, it's tolerant of extremes of temperature, including droughts and frosts. Planted in a sunny position, Trithrinax campestris is a great addition to a gravel, exotic or coastal planting scheme. Better still, it's low maintenance, requiring very little in the way of pruning.
Trithrinax campestris has glaucous, blue-green foliage and is slow growing, gradually forming a stout trunk.
For best results, situate Trithrinax campestris in full sun and well-drained soil. Protect it from hard frosts, especially when young.
