Chinese Fan Palm 12-14'oa Planted and Guaranteed /Before and After Trimming

This video shows untrimmed Chinese Fan Palms. In my opinion, immature specimens of this fan palm are as attractive as the mature plants. Evidently others share this view. It is becoming common to see young Chinese fan palms used in masses as ground cover in both outdoor landscapes and interiorscapes - especially in shopping malls. A dwarf variety, Livistona chinensis subglobosa, is available and is used just for that purpose. This is not to say that mature specimens are unattractive, just the opposite. The large bright green fan-shaped leaves are deeply divided into about 75 segments that droop downward to give a gracefully fountain-like aspect inspiring its common name Chinese fountain palm. These leaves may grow up to 5 ft (1.5 m) in diameter and form a dense canopy on a solitary brown trunk that bleaches to gray on older specimens. Trunks grow to about 18 in (46 cm) in diameter and are wider at the base. This palm is occasionally seen in Florida, slowly growing to a height of 30 ft (9 m). This Livistona can grow to 50 feet in its native habitat but is more commonly seen at heights of from 15 to 25 ft (4.6-7.6 m). Flowers are borne on 6 ft (1.8 m) inflorescences hidden within the crown and are followed by oval or round seeds that turn dark blue to blue-gray when ripe Visit our website for all your large tree and palm needs: https://thetreeplanters.com/ At The Tree Planters, our clients come first.
