Product Description

The Chamaerops humilis var. cerifera, also known as the Blue Mediterranean Fan Palm, is a striking, slow-growing palm with stiff, fan-shaped fronds coated in a distinctive silvery-blue wax. This unique coloration enhances its drought tolerance and protects it from intense sunlight. The trunk is short and clumping, often forming multiple stems that create a dense, shrubby appearance. Small yellow flowers emerge in spring, followed by dark, rounded fruits. Native to North Africa, this hardy palm thrives in hot, dry climates and tolerates cold better than most palms.
