Description
Botanical Description:
Growth Habit: chamaerops humilis cerifera is a small, clumping palm that typically reaches heights of 1 to 4 meters, occasionally up to 6 meters.
It often forms multiple trunks emerging from a single base, giving it a bushy shrub-like appearance.
Stems (Trunks): The stems are covered with persistent fibers and old leaf bases, contributing to a textured look.
They can grow up to 30 cm in diameter.
Leaves: The palm features fan-shaped (palmate) leaves that are 1 to 1.5 meters long, comprising 10 to 20 stiff, sword-like leaflets measuring 50 to 80 cm each.
The leaf color varies between green and a silvery-blue hue, depending on the variety.
Petiole: Each leaf is supported by a petiole (leaf stalk) ranging from 30 to 70 cm in length, which is heavily armed with sharp spines along its edges.
Flowers: chamaerops humilis cerifera produces dense inflorescences of bright yellow flowers during late spring to early summer.
These flowers are generally inconspicuous and are dioecious, meaning individual plants are either male or female.
Fruit: Following flowering, the palm bears small, date-like fruits that turn from green to brown as they mature.
This palm is a beautiful specimen plant for any garden.
