Other: The Mediterranean Fan Palm, native to Southern Europe and the Western Mediterranean, is a recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. This palm features a shrubby clumping habit with stiff, evergreen fans up to 2 1/2 feet wide. Its durable leaves are traditionally used in basket weaving. It produces buttery yellow flowers that cluster into large, upright spikes. The ornamental fall fruit transitions from green to vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and dark red.

The plant provides food and habitat for wildlife yet is resistant to deer. Typically dioecious, separate male and female plants are necessary for pollination. Suitable for growth in outdoor zones 8 or higher, in containers, or as a houseplant in cooler climates.
