Brahea armata, also known as Mexican fan palm or green fan brush, is a palm species that stands out for its large fan-shaped foliage, which is a characteristic silvery-green or silvery-blue color. The tree has a straight, slender trunk, which can reach a height of 10-15m, with the trunk surface often leaving natural dry leaf scars. The leaves of the tree are wide, lobed, creating a unique and attractive beauty.

Brahea armata is often planted in large landscape areas such as parks, resorts or villa gardens thanks to its luxurious appearance and good drought tolerance. This plant adapts well to tropical and semi-desert environments, and at the same time brings a tropical landscape style with a bit of wildness and uniqueness.
