Chamaerops humilis
Dwarf Fan Palm
Description
Chamaerops humilis, commonly known as the European Fan Palm or Mediterranean Fan Palm, is a robust, multi-trunked palm native to the Mediterranean region. It is one of the most cold-hardy palms. It is characterized by its fan-shaped leaves. The leaves are a rich green color and create a unique, textured appearance. The European Fan Palm is relatively slow-growing. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established. It is a popular choice for landscaping in coastal and Mediterranean climates. Regular watering is helpful, particularly during the establishment phase. Also, provide well-draining soil to avoid root rot. Pruning away the dead leaves is a good practice.
