Chinese Fan Palm
<\/h2>\n

The hardy nature and lush look of the Chinese fan palm makes it a South Florida landscape favorite.<\/p>\n

\"young<\/p>\n

The wide-spreading crown, with drooping fan leaves that have a layered “weep,” will stay low to the ground while the palm is young.<\/p>\n

This makes it a great privacy plant, an excellent container palm or a generously-sized anchor for a tropical garden bed.<\/p>\n

These beautiful palms are among the hardiest of South Florida palm trees, and complement any size yard in sun or shade.<\/p>\n

Plant specs
<\/h3>\n

Pretty at every stage of its growth, the Chinese fan will eventually grow a single trunk and rise to about 25 feet. It’s a slow grower for any light – best in sun to partial shade.<\/p>\n

It’s cold hardy – thriving in all areas of Zones 9 and 10 – and moderately salt-tolerant and drought-tolerant once it’s well established.<\/p>\n

\"mature<\/p>\n

Plant care
<\/h3>\n

Add top soil or organic peat to the hole when planting this palm.<\/p>\n

Plant in a well-drained area. it likes to dry out between waterings.<\/p>\n

Fertilize with granular palm fertilizer in spring, summer and fall.<\/p>\n

You will have to trim off older fronds now and then – but not very often since the palm grows slowly.<\/p>\n

\"full<\/p>\n

Plant spacing
<\/h3>\n

Chinese fans grow wide before they grow up.<\/p>\n

Space them about 5 feet or more from the house to let them fan out when young and have enough frond room as they mature.<\/p>\n

\"mid-size<\/p>\n

For a group planting for privacy or fullness: space them about 4 feet apart, if you’re planting a 7-gallon (or larger) pot size.<\/p>\n

For 3-gallon containers, these palms can be planted 3 feet apart.<\/p>\n

An excellent palm for medium to large containers, this palm can decorate a porch, balcony, patio or pool area.<\/p>\n

It does have short spines on the interior of the leaf stems, so avoid placing in areas where people have to brush against it to get by.<\/p>\n
