Mexican Fan Palm – Washingtonia robusta Seeds | 120 Seeds | Fast Growing Evergreen Palm | Heat & Drought Tolerant

Make a bold tropical statement with Mexican Fan Palm (Washingtonia robusta), a fast-growing evergreen palm known for its towering height and iconic fan-shaped fronds. Reaching 50–100 feet tall in ideal climates, this impressive palm is widely planted along boulevards, beaches, and large open landscapes for dramatic vertical impact.

The slender gray trunk is ringed with leaf scars and often retains a skirt of dried fronds, creating the well-known “petticoat” or “hula skirt” appearance. At the top, a crown of glossy green palmate leaves grows up to 5 feet long with gracefully drooping tips. In early summer, long flower stalks produce clusters of creamy-white blossoms followed by small black-brown fruits with thin, sweet pulp. The fruits and seeds are edible and were traditionally used by Native Americans for meal and porridge.

Native to the desert mountain regions of Sonora and Baja Mexico, this palm is highly tolerant of heat, drought, wind, and salt. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, including sandy or poor soils. When young, it can grow up to 6 feet per year. Best suited for large open spaces, street plantings, or groves, young palms can also be grown in containers to create a tropical patio setting.
