Product Description
Native to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco growing at elevations of up to 1700m where it can get very cold in winter, it survives periods of extreme drought. One of the most cold tolerant palm species, able to withstand heavy frosts, it is rated at H4 and is very popular in Europe for a palm plant. Prefers full sun in a well-drained position, but seems to adapt well to shade and damp locations where the soil is not prone to waterlogging. It is an excellent palm to grow in a container where it can survive drought, heat, wind, cold and long periods of neglect. The plant itself is prone to potential pests and diseases. No pruning is required. The final height of the plant is between 1.5 m – 2.5 m (4.9 ft – 8.2 ft) and the final width is between 1.5 – 2 m (4.9 – 6.6 ft).
