Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The hardiest of the Fan Palms, this 30-45' tall tree from 8,000' in the cool moist oak woodlands of the Himalayan foothills is somewhat taller than T. fortunei with a trunk often bare of leaf fibers. S/M
A vigorous chusan palm with exceptionally large fronds, standing upwards of 4-5 ft and bending in a uniform manner giving the tree a robust and almost weeping effect. Quick growth, sometimes more than 18" of trunk per year in happy times. Best in sun, though quite elegant in dappled shade, in rich soil with summer water where dry. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7 though fans can tatter below 10 °F, regrowing in summer.
