Chamaerops humilis

Chamaerops humilis, commonly known as the Mediterranean Fan Palm, is a hardy evergreen palm that adds an exotic touch to garden landscapes. With its distinctive fan-shaped leaves and multi-stemmed growth habit, this compact palm is perfect for hedging, screening, and specimen planting. It typically reaches an ultimate height of 2–5 metres, making it a great choice for gardens of all sizes.

Thriving in well-drained soils, including loam, sand, and chalk, Chamaerops humilis flourishes in full sun to partial shade. It is exceptionally drought-tolerant and highly resistant to coastal winds, making it an ideal option for exposed sites and Mediterranean-style gardens. Its slow-growing nature ensures easy maintenance while providing year-round architectural interest.

This versatile palm is perfect for creating a striking focal point, adding structure to borders, or forming an attractive natural screen. Its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions makes it a low-maintenance yet highly effective choice for both urban and coastal environments.
