The tall, fibrous trunk provides a distinctive look, while the green fan leaves form a tropical crown at the top. This makes this palm particularly suitable as a solitary eye-catcher, but also as part of a Mediterranean garden with olive trees, ornamental grasses and other exotic plants.

The Chinese fan palm grows best in a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained, fertile soil. Water the palm sufficiently during warm periods and prevent the roots from remaining wet for extended periods. In the ground, this hardy palm can develop further and gradually form a taller trunk. Protect the roots during prolonged frost, especially when the palm is in a plant pot.

Every palm tree is unique. Small changes due to natural growth or seasonal influences are possible.
