The California Fan Palm Tree



 California Palm Tree




Ever since I was a little girl I was always amazed at how tall the California Fan Palm were, it would get-up to 60 feet, That’s really tall for a tree with such a thin trunk. My biggest fear is that during a storm one would fall over onto our home because they would bend sooo much in the wind, but I've never seen one topple over yet!

These California trees are considered to be what’s called Cold Hardy because it can tolerated cold weather all the way down to 15 degrees (lower depending on the age and growth of the cold hardy palm tree).

These trees are fast growers and resistant to salt and drought. This species was named in honor of George Washington. That’s where its other name Washingtonia filifera came from.

It stands out because of its stately and distinctive appearance, this palm tree is one of the most widely grown palms in tropical and subtropical climates.

The grey trunks of the Fan palms are barrel shaped and ringed with old leaf scars like many other palm trees, and can grow to be more than 3 feet around the Palms.

You should be careful because each stem of these palm tree has thick curved thorns running along each side of the stems.

Each leaf on this California palm swing freely when windy and threading can be found between each spine of the leafs not matter what stage of the trees life.
