It is a slow growing palm (to 7' in 10 years) that produces beautiful fan-shaped fronds. Chamaerops plants are typically multi-trunked, with the outside trunks growing at an outward angle to form an attractive clump. Of all the hardy palms for sale, this is the northern-most naturally occurring palm species in the world. A few specimens grow wild in southern France at 43 degrees N latitude.

However, it is salt tolerant. They prefer full sun but also do well in part sun. Like most cold hardy palms, once established, chamaerops is very drought-tolerant. Some gardeners may want to trim up the leaves in order to show off the great looking trunks while others may prefer to let it grow into its natural shrubby habit. Its slow growth habit makes it a great cold-hardy palm tree for container growing in more northern climates. This palm is also deer-resistant. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"chamaerops-humilis-var-argentea","title":"Chamaerops humilis var argentea","description":"\u003cp\u003e(aka: Chamaerops humilis var. cerifera) Chamaerops humilis var. argentea is a variety of the deer-resistant European fan palm that hails from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco where it grows up to 5,400' elevation.
