Mediterranean Palm Tree Information

This palm tree will do very well in the Desert Southwest. The fronds will stay green year-round giving it a much more eye-pleasing look during the cold season. Be sure to follow a regular watering schedule when first planted. This will help establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering can be reduced after establishment.

Also, Mediterranean palms do provide some shade but are known for their ornamental looks, especially around swimming pools.

It will do well in full sun or partial shade.  For better results full sun in colder climates.  Do not prune fronds until the last frost has passed.  The older yellow color fronds will protect it from the cold freezing temperatures.

Additionally, Mediterranean palm trees are valued for their looks, adaptation, and beneficial significance, making them iconic features of landscapes in Mediterranean climates worldwide.

Feed with a general-purpose palm tree fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.  Check out the Wikipedia page about Mediterranean Palm trees.
