Washingtonia robusta Type | Size:Pot | 3L needle-like leaves are a bluish-greenSouthern Washingtonia Also known as the Mexican fan palm, Washingtonia robusta is a tender, fast growing, evergreen palm for container growing. It needs to be overwintered in a greenhouse but can be grown outside in summer, giving an exotic, tropical appearance to a sheltered garden. It has a rather narrow habit, and attractive, fan shaped, green leaves with very long leaflets. The trunk, initially slender, swells out at the base on mature specimens.
