SUCKERING FAN PALM WITH MEDIUM SIZED MATURE SIZE
Historically Chamaerops humilis has been considered a monotypic genus although in recent times a very blue version (Chamaerops cerifera) has been discovered in northern Africa and this may be eventually named as the second species in the genus. This green species is very durable and can live on limited water. It tolerates hot full sun, even in desert environments. Although there are variations in mature heights (different clones of the same species), it tends not to be overly tall. It does sucker and leaf stems are armed with sharp barbs. Most mature specimens are between ten and twenty feet tall. The 5 gallon plants on special are the green form of this species. Notably, all C. humilis can be green or have strong hints of blue in the leaves and stems. This species demands full sun and loves heat. In the shade, it performs poorly. Cold tolerance is about 15 degrees F. This size can easily be shipped for mail orders.
