Much loved by gardeners in Victorian times who made a feature of this palm planting it in the centre of the lawn. They will fit well into a mixed planting as well of course. A palm from the hot dry areas of southern Europe and North Africa it is both drought tolerant and frost hardy and would be happy planted in most parts of Australia except tropical and sub tropical areas. Chamaerops humilis will eventually grow to 5 or 6 metres tall and as much across.
