This good looking fan palm comes from southern Mexico as well as various countries in Central America. There is variability in this species: Some plants are green, others blue. Some specimens get to twenty feet, others remain shorter. Over time, leaf bases fall away to give a smooth trunk. This species likes part sun or full sun along the coast and is cold hardy to about 20 degrees F. Photo by Angello Porcelles.
