Chamaerops humilis

Chamaerops humilis, also known as the Dwarf Fan Palm, is a slow growing evergreen palm and well suited to cooler climates with larger specimens easily able to make it through the winter. Unlike other many other palms this is fairly windproof and therefore an excellent choice for the coast. In cool climates you can reasonably expect C. humilis to reach at least 200cm high and much the same spread. Should be counted as essential in a tropical planting scheme.
