- In this video I talk about the Mexican Fan Palm (Washingtonia robusta) and show the one that I have. This palm is native to Northwestern Mexico and is a very popular palm in the Southwest U.S. in places such as California. It is also grown in South Texas as well as the Coastal Southeast U.S. and throughout much of Florida. These palms have a very fast growth rate and love full sun.
I just bought two of the hybrids, Washingtonia Filibusta from HD for $20 each. What a deal!! These hybrids are listed as hardy to 10⁰ F. I will still protect it the first year until it establishes good. Mine look a lot like your Robusta. Beautiful palms.
Be careful of the thorns though!
LOVE THAT LITTLE PALM TREE
Love your channel! I'm a palm tree junkie too! I live in Fairfield, California and I have three palms: two Phoenix Roebelenii and a Phoenix Canariensis. All are potted. When I FINALLY get a house after I make my move to Las Vegas, the plan is to plant a Washingtonia Robusta. The other three will be planted as well. I love palms. Truly unique plants!
Orion thank you! You’re in a nice palm growing area! Robustas are a common yet really cool palm in my opinion.
You did such a wonderful job explaining all of this. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video. Am currently trying to make a list of the plants in my garden and wanted to confirm this one
I know I already made a Mexican Fan Palm video, but the palm in my other video had an issue and I had to get a different one, but I also wanted my video to be on the palm that I will actually plant in the ground so I can document its growth over time. I also didn't like my other video as much so I decided to just make a whole new one. Thanks for watching! More videos are coming soon.
Awesome, I love them too!
Did you get that from nicks?
That’s a beautiful Palm tree 🌴.
Thank you for the very informative video ♥️
Beautiful looking palm 😍👍.
Palm kipas
Fan palm....
On the pot, nice ❤️❤️❤️
That’s cool!
Right on, put it in the ground! I've got a few growing in pots that I'll put in the ground here shortly.
I hope they do great for you!
You're going to be amazed at how fast that grows this year if you put t in the ground! Weekly fish fertilizer and miracle grow in a 2 gallon watering can. You won't regret that!
Thanks for the advice I’ll definitely make sure it gets that! I love your videos by the way!
The Washy looks great! Great channel 👍
Thank you!
Excellent
My favorite tree is palm trees
Me too! Thanks for watching.
My favorite tree is a money tree. I just wish I could find one.
Looks great
That washy brought the beef! Lol looks great man
Thank you! I got the one with the biggest trunk on it that was at the store.
Nice stuff man, I got one myself a while about 2 weeks. Made the mistake of sticking em right in the sun after transplanting to another pot. So it ain't looking great lol. But seems to be pushing since I marked it and cut all but 1 frond. Subbed to you as well 🤙🏼
Thanks man! Yours should grow out of it fast!
they are also recognisable by the fibre strings on their leaves.

Got the Washington 2 species cross from seed .grower said hardy to zone 6. Gonna plant 3 year old seedlings season 2023. Gonna protect cover and put by house more warmer and drier in winter zone 7 border
Did they survive? I used to be in zone 7b but now they have me listed in 8a since the rezoning
My life.
How tall does it get
In good conditions easily around 40ish feet over many years.
Everything ive read is these dont need protecting from winter unless you get below 15 degrees.
15 degrees will completely fry these palms endless you live in a very dry winter climate, these palms will start to show some damage below about 23 but it isn’t significant, I had one in the ground years ago that died from 18 degrees
Did you end up planting it or are you waiting until spring? Cheers 👍
I am waiting for spring, we were doing a lot of work in the back yard all summer (replacing deck, moving things, etc.) and I didn’t want to plant it somewhere because I was unsure of what areas would be used for other things beside plants.
@@palmtreedude Great! I just did a video on one that I'll be planting in spring also! Cheers 👍
Nobody ever talks about the soil they use
@@davidmorales8644 they like faster draining loamy soil, as long as they are not in muck that is always soggy they should do fine.
Great specimen, too tender without protection in the U.K.
My Washingtonian Robusta grows slow, why is that?
That could be due to a number of factors. Is it in a cool area? Is it in a pot?
@@palmtreedude i live in Charlotte NC, mild winters, nd yea its in a plastic pot
@@adultcartoonsandcereal15 It’s probably because it’s in a pot, I would give it a tiny bit of fertilizer when it warms up.
How old is that palm
This one is probably about a year and a half old from seed based on their growth rate.
