The California
Fan Palm is native to the desert oases of California
and Arizona. Its appearance is similar to the Mexican
Fan Palm, but with a much thicker and more massive
trunk and larger grey-green fronds. It thrives in
the low and high deserts of the Southwest, as well
as along the coast. In addition to its use around
taller buildings and along street and drive borders,
it makes a bold statement as a large accent tree.
Among the hardiest of all large palms, the California
Fan Palm grows well down to 14 degrees. It is commercially
available in sizes to 30 feet and will reach a height
of 40 feet at a rate of one foot per year with ample
water. |
