The lush
green look of the Chinese fan palm, plus its ability to withstand cold
temperatures, make it an excellent option for landscaping in NE Florida.
The Chinese
fan palm is a perfect option if you require a privacy plant. It has a
broad full-to-ground weeping crown while the tree is young. Due to its
slow-growing nature, it can also make an excellent container palm.
Looking
beautiful at every growth stage, the single-trunk Chinese fan
palm will
rise to about 25 feet. It makes an excellent foundation tree for your tropical
landscape beds. They are healthiest in full and partial sun. Wherever you plant this
palm, it will maintain its slow-growth habit.
It will
thrive well in NE Florida, zoned for 9a-11. Like all newly planted trees, it
will need extra water for the first six months. Once established, it is
drought-tolerant. It will also work near the beach as a moderately
salt-tolerant palm.
