European Fan Palm - Chamaerops humilis


Thinking of a great Christmas gift for that special someone? How about putting a touch of the tropics into this holiday season by ordering them a cold hardy European Fan Palm. Palm lovers everywhere can enjoy this palm, outdoors in USDA hardiness zones 7b - 11 or indoors in a container outside of the ideal zones.

The European Fan Palm (Chamaerops humilis) has a few names including: Mediterranean Fan Palm, Dwarf Fan Palm, and Palmito. It's native to the Mediterranean region of Europe and is known and sought after due to it's extreme cold hardiness thriving even in temperatures as low as 5 degrees f. This is also a wind resistant and salt tolerant palm tree.

The European Fan Palm does well grown in a container indoors because it is an extremely slow grower reaching heights of only 10' when full grown and taking years to reach. The beautiful, lush, clumping palm has elegant silvery blue fronds and can attain widths of 5'. This palm tree requires moderate watering but does best in well drained soil and can take full sun to partial shade but is at it's best in full sun.

Maintenance on the lovely European Fan Palm is easy, simply apply a goodpalm fertilizer twice a year for optimal health.
