Mediterranean Fan Palm
Comments (11)blondboy----How do you protect a 7 foot tall palm? gregsytch---actually the filiferas are more hardy than the robustas,most of the robustas people have planted have died here in Albuquerque,while the filiferas survived our record breaking snow,all of the palms were unprotected and in zone 7b. blondboy-watch out for that robusta,the ones that died here in Albuquerque had been there for a few years and were about 10 to 15ft tall.I guess all it takes is a week of 20+ inches of snow and freezing temps to take them out.I can only imagine what the winters look like in ON,Canada.That was a rare snow storm we had and Albuquerque had never seen that much snow before since records had been kept.So hopefully we'll never see it again, although its 101 degrees today my robusta will bake in the sun then I will take it back to Lowe's and buy a windmill....See MoreChamaerops Humilis (Mediterranean Fan Palm)
Comments (3)You can definitely grow them with protection. Euro fan palms are one of my most reliable palms in zone 7 with protection. Mine completely defoliated after seeing 3F this winter but since I protected it from the rest of this winters cold and it has already grown back 2 of it's fronds so it has been recovering better than any of my other palms. If you sell it, I would let it grow out for a year or 2 before you sell it because it looks like they were very shade grown and it's possible that in full sun it will get some initial damage. -Alex...See Moreplanting Mediterranean fan palm near gas line.
Comments (1)It should be fine...See Morespecifics for mediterranean. fan palms
Comments (3)I have no experience growing Chamaerops from seed, but I don't think bottom heat would hurt--especially as we are in the winter months. Although Mediterranean (rather than tropical in origin), they should be encouraged by soil temps between 80 and 95 F.. Be careful to keep the soil medium only slightly moist. Good luck!...See MoreKaren Fineran
