The Washington Palm is so fast growing, it can create a tropical look in record time. It is also one of the most cold-tolerant palms available. Its fan-shaped leaves give the plant its common name, the Mexican Fan Palm. Left in a natural state, the browned fronds form a petticoat of thatch, which many gardeners trim off. Once established, the palm is moderately salt and drought tolerant. It prefers a sunny, well drained spot, and loves a breezy location. If you are looking for a low-maintenance yet impressive addition to your garden? Look no further than the Mexican fan palm also known as Washington palm, Washingtonia robusta palm tree, desert palm and California fan palm.

Hardiness Zone: 9-11
Environmental Needs: Full Sun, water twice a week during the first growing season, after that rain water will suffix.
