Rare palm from the desert of Sudan and Egypt. Medemia is a relative of Bismarckia and bears elegant grey-blue arching leaves. It was considered extinct in the wild until its rediscovery in the 90's. It is still hard to find because seeds are seldom available and germination is tricky. We sell a young established seedling grown from the start in a tall pot, because it develops a deep root system. Please transplant it soon to an even deeper pot with abundant bottom drainage, or directly to the ground in a dast draining site.
