Description
Chamaerops humilis, commonly known as the European fan palm, is a small evergreen palm that brings a Mediterranean feel to the garden. Its distinctive fan-shaped leaves offer architectural interest throughout the year.
This species prefers full sun and well-drained soil, showing good tolerance to dry conditions once established. It is one of the hardiest palms suitable for some parts of the UK, though protection may be needed in severe winter weather.
