Washingtonia robusta: characteristics and care
The Washingtonia robusta, popularly known as the Mexican fan palm, is a fast-growing palm native to Mexico that stands out for its slender trunk and its crown of large, deep green, fan-shaped palmate leaves.
Its slender and vertical habit, capable of reaching great heights, makes it a widely used option for alignments, avenues, and featured specimens in Mediterranean gardens.
It tolerates moderate drought well once established and adapts to different soil types, provided it has good drainage.
At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
