    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Of the hardiest of the two Washingtonia available species, this species, with its stout trunk and large leaves adorned with white threads, is the most northern -- this seed collected from stately specimens near city hall in the town of the same name where temperatures of 0 F can defoliate but not kill these lovely plants. Keeping in mind those dips were brief and their winter climate is dry, these are quite possibly the most worthy of trying in the marginal zones where they have not yet been successful. Full sun...a little extra water in summer to boost growth. To 30-40 ft so give it some room.
