Coccothrinax miraguama – Miraguama Palm Seedlings

Coccothrinax miraguama, commonly known as the Miraguama palm, is a slender, slow-growing palm that typically reaches heights of 6–10 meters (20–33 feet). It has a thin, gray trunk covered in a dense layer of fibers, giving it a rough texture. Its crown consists of stiff, fan-shaped fronds that are deep green on top and silvery underneath. The palm produces small, yellowish flowers in branched inflorescences, followed by round, purple to black fruits.

Native to Cuba, the Miraguama palm thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun. It is highly drought-tolerant and wind-resistant, making it well-suited for coastal and arid environments. This palm can withstand brief cold down to about -3°C (27°F). Its striking silvery foliage and resilience make it a popular choice for ornamental planting in tropical and subtropical landscapes.
