When conjuring up a mental image of palm trees, one often pictures sandy beaches, which is where most cold sensitive palms are relegated to stay. The Mediterranean Fan Palm, on the other hand, is a unique palm designed to withstand a variety of climates; surviving through temperature drops as low as 5°F, and reveling in high, reflected heat and sun.
Slow growing, tidy, and well behaved, this tropical looking palm is exceptionally easy to maintain, and makes a striking accent near pools and patios, where high heat tolerance and low litter production are essential assets. Mediterranean Fan Palm works well in containers or tight spaces, as it won’t grow out of bounds and remains compact.
