Chamaerops humilis (Mediterranean Fan Palm) - This heavily clumping palm grows to 6-8 feet tall on 4-5 feet tall trunks that are covered with old leaf-bases. The deeply cut fan leaves are held on strongly spined petioles. Planted in full sun, it will tolerate many different soil types as long as it has good drainage and is evenly moist. It will take cold down to about 15 degrees F.
The information about Chamaerops humilis that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We will also include observations made about this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We also incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they share cultural information that aids others growing this plant.
