PACHYPODIUM GEAYI "Madagascar Palm"
What an awesome looking plant, the structure is amazing. Looking similar to a palm but not even close in the plant kingdom. This looks like a plant that would be in the Danger Garden because of the spines. It is stated that all parts are poisonous if ingested. P. geayi comes from the Southwestern area of Madagascar, has a metallic grey trunk, thin grey-green leaves with a bright pink mid-rib. Bloom time is any time of the year on a plant that is at least 6 feet tall. Flowers are white or near white with a yellow throat and lightly scented. A deciduous tree that can reach a height of 15 feet. This will be a great addition to the patio next Spring. It is planted in a 6" pot, about 18" tall and the leaves extend out about 2 feet.
