Culture
The European Fan palm is very adaptable to
many kinds of well drained soils.
Light: European fan palm prefers bright sunny
locations, but it also does well in part shade
with some direct sunlight. It will survive in
rather heavy shade but "stretches" to lose its
compact shape.
Moisture: Provide adequate moisture for fastest
growth. This palm is very drought tolerant once
established. It dislikes soggy soils.
Hardiness: USDA Zones 8-10. European fan palm is
hardy throughout Florida. It can survive
temperatures down to 10° F (-12° C). It even
survives the occasional snowfall in its native
habitat!
Propagation: European fan palm is usually
propagated from seed. It can also be propagated
by dividing clumps or removing suckers, methods
that require superhuman effort.
