Pachypodium geayi

The Madagascar Palm | Sculptural, Exotic & Exceptionally Resilient

Make a striking architectural statement with Pachypodium geayi, a dramatic and highly desirable caudiciform often referred to as the Madagascar Palm. Native to Madagascar’s arid, sun-drenched landscapes, this remarkable species features a textured silver-grey, spined trunk crowned with narrow, blue-green foliage—creating a living sculpture of bold form and refined elegance.

With maturity, plants may reward patient growers with clusters of pristine white summer flowers, adding a delicate contrast to its powerful silhouette. Equally at home on a sunny patio, in a bright interior space, or as a focal point in modern tropical or desert-inspired gardens, Pachypodium geayi is a standout collector’s plant—exotic, resilient, and undeniably sculptural.
