I took this photograph of this unusual palm while
visiting Phipps Conservatory on a
vacation to Pittsburgh last October.
Sometimes called the Mediterranean fan palm, this
the European fan palm, as you can
see here, can really spread out—6 to 10 feet wide. What this picture doesn’t
show is how hardy this is. Established palms of this kind can survive temperatures
to 10 degrees or even lower, and are drought-resistant, as well.
