The Hollywood Fan Palm (*Washingtonia robusta*) is a tall, fast-growing palm with a slender trunk and large, fan-shaped fronds. Native to northwestern Mexico, it thrives in full sun and warm climates, reaching heights of up to 60 feet or more. Known for its striking appearance and rapid growth, it is often used as an ornamental tree in landscaping.

The Mediterranean Fan Palm (Chamaerops humilis) is a compact, hardy palm native to the Mediterranean region. It features fan-shaped, stiff, blue-green fronds and a bushy growth habit, often forming multiple trunks. Growing to about 10-15 feet tall, it is well-suited to smaller gardens and container planting. This palm is highly drought-tolerant, thrives in full sun, and prefers well-drained soil. Its low maintenance and tolerance to cold make it a popular choice for landscapes in Mediterranean climates and mild-winter areas.

The Windmill Fan Palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) is a cold-hardy palm tree with a slender, fibrous trunk and large, fan-shaped fronds that grow in a circular pattern. It can reach heights of 10 to 40 feet and is popular in landscaping for its tropical appearance and ability to withstand cooler climates. This palm is slow-growing and thrives in well-drained soil with partial to full sunlight.
