European Fan Palm Tree
Chamaerops humilis
The European Fan Palm Tree displays beautiful lush silvery-green to
yellow fronds that are fanned out and held upon small, curved trunks.
Those clusters form together to create long dramatic, tropical leaves.
New growth shows itself in clusters of new yellow blooms, then grows
slowly to form the beautiful crowns of the tree. In addition to its beauty
and low-maintenance the European Fan Palm Tree is also drought
tolerant and hardy down to 20 degree (F). Lastly, these trees are
versatile in landscapes and containers alike, so you can enjoy the
feeling of the tropics as a focal point of your yard or enjoy it in a great
planter on your porch so you can bring it inside when temperatures get
too low. European Fan Palm Trees grow very slowly, but they dazzle
throughout their growth into majestic palm trees.
