About Mexican Fan, Palm Seed
Across Southern California and other warm regions, the tall, slender palm that defines the skyline is Mexican Fan Palm. Washingtonia robusta grows quickly into a towering, narrow trunk topped with a compact crown of bright green, fan-shaped leaves. Old fronds form a thatched skirt unless trimmed. Its speed, heat tolerance and dramatic height make it a favorite for avenues and large landscapes, while young seedlings make easy, fast-growing container palms.
