25 Fresh Plump Seeds just harvested from the California Fan Palm Tree

Description: Add a touch of the tropics to your garden with these freshly harvested California Fan Palm Tree seeds. With a growth habit of about a foot and a half a year, these perennial trees are draught-resistant and evergreen. The seeds are perfect for planting in sandy/soil mixture which has good drainage. They enjoy medium to full sun exposure. These seeds are ideal for indoor and outdoor planting and thrive well in Mediterranean, tropical wet & dry, marine west coast, semiarid, humid subtropical, humid continental, and tropical wet climates. Height and TrunkThe California Fan Palm grows to heights of 49-66 feet (15-20 meters). These palms can potentially grow up to a foot and a half per year but are more likely to grow about half of that height in normal gardening conditions. Once mature, the frond spread is between 20-30 ft (6-9 meters), with each frond measuring 11-13 feet (3.5-4 Meters) long forming a crown at the top of the palm. The trunk of the California Fan Palm is thick and sturdy, solitary, and grows in an unbending column-shaped, starting brown, but weather to a grey over time. This feature is unlike the Mexican Fan Palm, which has a great degree of bend in the trunk once grown to heights of 40 feet. The California Fan Palm trunk tapers from a thick base to a diameter of approximately 2-4 feet.Fronds and LeafletsThe California Fan Palm is an evergreen monocot, meaning that it is green all year round that bears a single seed leaf. The evergreen fan leaflets measure about 5-7 feet (1.5-2 meters) long and feature white threadlike filifera fibers on the ends of their bright green to sea green tips.These fan palms are known for their large draping skirts, which is how they received the common name, Petticoat Palm. The palm also produces a white or creamy flora in late spring and small, round, black fruit of about ½ inch in diameter that sticks out beyond the limit of the crown.HARDINESS AND IDEAL GROWTH ENVIRONMENT OF THECalifornia Fan PalmThe California Fan Palm does well in many climates, going as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit to 125 degrees Fahrenheit, but it is important to note that the mature palms are much more temperature tolerant than the juvenile palms. They are sensitive to high humidity and struggle when grown next to the coast. Like Mexican Fan Palms, they have a high wind tolerance.California Fan Palms are salt resistant, drought resistant, resists pests very easily, and can live in several soil types including sand, clay, and loam. They are not as tolerant of dry weather as some assume, needing water but with monitoring, the soil must drain for the tree to do well. We cannot stress enough that these palms do need water, however, too much water can lead to root rot.When planting, remember that placement is critical. Light is extremely important to the health of these palms. This palms shade tolerance is as low as it gets. The California Fan Palm is tolerant to a wide range of PH, making soil PH rarely an issue with these palms.
