European Fan Palm

Chamaerops humilis Even though it is a palm it can grow outdoors as far north as Southern New Jersey.  This slow-growing palm can grow to 15' HEIGHT. Take 10-15 years to achieve a height of 8'. One of the most cold-tolerant palm species, withstanding even heavy frosts. Cold hardy to 5-15 degrees F.  A very good container plant.
