Report an issue with this species
Mediterranean Fan Palm is a beautiful multi-trunked palm, though it can be trained as a single-trunked tree. It is very slow growing and low maintenance, tolerating heat, poor soils, dryness, and wind. It is one of the hardiest palms, suitable for temperate coastal climates.
