The European Fan Palm is a small and bushy palm with stiff fan-shaped leaves developing over time a coarse hairy trunk. Growing up to 15 feet in height, this attractive palm develops suckers from the base of the trunk providing very dense foliage down to the soil level. In time the suckers each become individual trunks bearing a crown of fronds and new suckers are constantly developing at the base of the trunk. If preferred, the suckers may be removed to grow it as a small single stem palm, this makes it a very versatile palm as the eventual shape, size and density are very controllable. The triangular, fan shaped leaves grow to about 20 to 24 inches long by 24 inches wide. They are deeply divided into multiple segments that are themselves split at the tip and they are supported on 3 to 4 feet stems. This is an extremely variable plant both in color (the leaves range from blue green to grey green to yellow green) and in shape. Some plants form suckers more freely than others to become very shrubby plants that may reach 15 feet in width. Other individuals can be seen that are almost dwarf, growing just 5 feet tall by 4 feet wide. These days it is popular to remove all but a few of the suckers and to prune the leaves to form a cluster of clear trunked "mini" palms. Small, bright yellow flowers held close to the trunk are hidden behind the leaf stems which are armed with very sharp teeth. The flowers are followed in the fall by fruits which are dark yellow, orange or brown and about half an inch in diameter. we also provide other quantity, please leave us a massage for confirmation
