European fan palm - Chamaerops humilis

The Chamaerops Humilis is one of the most common palm species in Northern Europe, and is also the only palm that occurs naturally in Europe. Therefore, the Chamaerops Humilis is also called the European fan palm. It is a very strong and compact palm, but it grows several cuttings in addition to its own trunk, which means that the palm can increase in width at a young age. In several southern European countries, the palm can grow up to 3 meters in the wild with dozens of trunks! It is a beautiful and low maintenance palm to place in the open ground or in a pot in the garden or on the terrace.

Care
The Chamaerops Humilis prefers a sunny and light position, and a well-drained soil. The plant can withstand heat and drought well, but water regularly in hot summers. Make sure that water can drain out of the pot, so plant the Chamaerops in a pot with holes. Furthermore, the palm is hardy to -15 degrees Celsius, which means you should bring the Chamaerops inside if you expect extreme frost. Due to its slow and compact growth the Chamaerops Humilis is an ideal tub plant, although of course you can also plant the palm in full soil.

Size
The plant has a height of 50-60cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plant is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 15cm.
