Since we introduced this palm into general cultivation in the 1990s, this bluish-silver-leaved Nannorrhops from Baluchistan in southwestern Pakistan and southeastern Iran has proved to be one of the most valuable additions to the range of cold hardy palms. It will thrive in the tropics as well as in temperate areas, and, with good drainage, even in wetter regions. With ample heat it is easy to germinate, and surprisingly enough, VERY FAST growing, producing thick, blue silver to sometimes almost white, leathery, fan-shaped leaves. The first seedling leaf of Nannorrhops arabica 'Silver' is short, wide and silvery white. In winter it may resist temperatures as low as about -10°C (14°F) in a very dry climate. We feel that this plant is certainly too different to belong within Nannorrhops ritchiana. At the same time, it is unclear if the name Nannorrhops arabica is correctly applied here. It appears as if it compares most closely to Nannorrhops baluchestanica that was newly described in 2016 from Iran. Nannorrhops arabica 'Silver' is certainly an excellent, colorful and extremely drought tolerant palm that is highly valuable especially for cold and hot desert climates.
