It is about time to for my second update on my Bismarck Palm Tree ( Bismarckia nobilis ). I purchased this gorgeous Palm Tree about 3 years ago at the height of about 3 feet tall. It was stained from well water and needed some attention. If you would like to read my previous posts containing information and view the pictures of this Palm Tree please CLICK HERE.
At any rate my last update was June of 2008. The magnificent Palm Tree was still around 3 feet tall. Since then alot has changed. Steady fertilizer and proper care has driven my Bismarck Palm Tree to grow to a height of about 6 feet! All of the well water stain is gone and it has filled out like a champ.

Well it has been about 2 months since my last post on my Bismarck Palm Tree ( Bismarckia nobilis ) that I scored at the Farmers Market. Click Here to see the first set of pictures for comparison, it was pretty bad. I figured it was time for an update.
Since my last post I have re-potted my Bismarck Palm Tree into a decorative pot that I scored from Wal-Mart for $10.00 that is made from 100% recycled material. I mulched the top and placed it near my table area. The man I bought the Bismarck Palm from had a well sprinkler system which turned the fronds a copper color from deposits in the water. Now there is new growth and you can see the beautiful blue color in the frond. This is the attractive color I have been waiting for. Soon all of the fronds will be this color and it will look amazing.
While you are looking, in the first picture you can see my Silver Dollar Gum Tree ( Eucalyptus cinerea). It is also doing very well. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Last Saturday when I attended the Farmers Market I purchased several items. ( Click Here For More Information About The Farmers Market ) I have been holding out on this one until I found a deal that I liked. Well, like I said before " great deals at the Farmers Market ".
There was a man selling Palm Tree's at a booth and one of the Palms he was selling was a Bismarck Palm ( Bismarkia nobilis ). I have wanted this Palm for some time now but they are extremely expensive. This man had 1 Bismarck and he was selling it for $10.00. That's right $10.00. That is an awesome deal to me and I could not pass it up, especially that he only had 1. Now I have a Bismarck Palm as part of my collection.
The Bismarck Palm that I purchased has a little stain to it from the well water sprinkler system that the grower used but that will grow out. This Bismarck is about 3 feet tall right now. They can grow anywhere from 10 feet up to 40 feet tall. The Bismarck Palm Tree has a blueish-green tint to it's foliage. The Bismarck Palm is native to Madagascar along with almost every other fascinating Palm Tree. The Bismarck Palm is also drought tolerant making it suitable for xeriscaping. Although the Bismarck Palm Tree is massive and very strong looking, it is actually one of the more sensitive Palms as far as transplanting and cold goes. On that note you better make sure that you plant this Palm where you want ti the first time because it will most likely die if you try to move it. You should space the Bismarck Palms about 15-20 feet apart as they can produce fronds that are 10 feet themselves.
Here are some pictures of my new addition the Bismarck Palm Tree ( Bismarkia nobilis ).
