The Mediterranean Fan Palm is an outstanding, cold hardy palm. This multi-trunk species will reach a mature height of approximately 20’. The trunks are covered by leaf scars creating a rough texture. Most clumps consist of 3 – 5 individual stems/trunks. The triangular-shaped fronds grow upright and are typically 2’ across. They are deeply divided with multiple segments. Leaves can range from blue-green to a more gray-green in color. The leaf stems have sharp teeth. The fruit/flowers are not showy compared to other palm species.

The Mediterranean Fan Palm is an outstanding selection for the area – especially if looking for a multi trunk form. Its compact growing habit makes it well suited for residential landscapes. This palm is extremely well-adapted to a broad range of soil and growing conditions and is very drought tolerant as well. The Mediterranean Fan Palm will take cold temperatures down to +10 °F.
