Mexican Fan Palm, Washingtonia robusta, Tree Seeds Easy to Grow, Fast Growth, Edible Fruit/Nuts, Evergreen, Specimen Tree, Street Tree, Wildlife Food, Heat, Drought and Salt Tolerant Soaring to over 100 feet, this skyscraper of the palm world is a striking sight when planted at equal intervals along a boulevard or when snuggled up in groups against high rise buildings. The gray trunk is ringed with closely set leaf scars although usually at least part of the trunk remains covered with dead leaves that hang in a thatch. The solitary trunk, about 10-12 inches in diameter, bulges at the ground and becomes slender as it approaches a crown of large palmate leaves with gracefully drooping leaflet tips. These are rich glossy green and grow to about 5 feet long and 4 feet wide. They are borne on 3 foot orange leaf stems that are edged with vicious sawtooth spines. As the leaves die, they fall against the trunk to create the "hula skirt" effect for which this palm is famous. Long inflorescences of small fleshy flowers are produced in the early summer, followed by black-brown berry-like, small fruits that have a thin, sweet pulp that tastes somewhat like dates or butterscotch. Each fruit contains a single seed. The small fruits are harvested when ripe and eaten fresh or dried, or made into jellies and drinks. The seeds are also edible and were widely used by Native Americans who ground them into meal for making bread or porridge. This palm is native to the desert mountain valleys and canyons of Sonora and Baja Mexico. It is a popular landscape plant in Florida, California and Arizona and in areas where it is hardy throughout the world.
