California Fan Palm

Washingtonia filifera

واشنطونيا فيليفرا

Stouter and heavier than the Mexican fan palm, with a thick trunk and a dense crown. Slower growing and more cold tolerant, which makes it the better choice slightly inland or at modest altitude.

Blooming season: Summer
Flower colour: Cream
How to care: Full sun in free-draining soil. Very drought tolerant once established and more cold hardy than most palms here. Water through establishment, then sparingly. The persistent skirt of dead fronds is characteristic and provides habitat, though it is often removed in formal settings. Wear gloves for the sharply toothed leaf stems.

Date Palm

Phoenix dactylifera

The true date palm, slimmer and more upright than its Canary Island relative, and productive in hot dry positions. Suckers freely at the base, which can be removed for a single clean trunk or left for a clumped grove effect.

Pygmy Date Palm

Phoenix roebelenii

A miniature date palm reaching only two or three metres, with a slender trunk and fine arching fronds. The palm to use in a courtyard, beside a pool, or in a large pot on a terrace, and equally happy indoors in bright light.
