EXTREMELY HEAVY ITEM
CONTACT US FOR DELIVERY OPTIONS
Chamaerops Humilis or European Fan Palm is a tough frost hardy palm which is easy to care for as is tolerant of dry conditions and will also thrive in a comparatively windy spot. This particular specimen is rare in the sense that it has a large single trunk in the form more associated with Trachycarpus Fortuneii- the first time I have seen in this form and a one off.
Despite this palm's popularity in contemporary gardens gardeners have grown this hardy specimen for years although it was 'rediscovered' in the late 90's by garden designers.
Despite Chamaerops's exotic appearance it requires very little maintenance but will thrive in a sunny well drained position in any soil.
Planting Tips
💧 Watering – Essential for Success
Consistent watering is vital from day one. Ambient rainfall is rarely sufficient, especially in the first season after planting. Water deeply and regularly to help roots establish — this is the main condition of our plant guarantee. Plants that are allowed to dry out may fail to establish and will not be covered under warranty.
Rootballed Plants
Handle rootballed plants with care and do not remove the hessian sacking, netting, or metal wire around the rootball. These materials are designed to hold the root system together during planting and will naturally break down in the soil. Simply place the rootball in the prepared planting hole, making sure it sits at the same depth it was previously growing. Backfill with soil, firm in gently, and water thoroughly.
Potted Plants
Remove the plant carefully from its pot and lightly tease out any circling roots before planting. Place it in a hole slightly larger than the pot, ensuring the top of the rootball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill, firm in gently, and water generously.
Trees & Tall Plants
When planting trees or taller plants, always provide a strong stake or support for at least the first growing season. This helps the roots establish firmly and prevents wind damage. Position the stake on the windward side and secure the stem loosely with a soft tie, allowing for slight movement.
