Chamaerops Cerifera
In stock
Description
Only recently introduced to cultivation, this superb hardy palm is ideal to grow either in the garden or in a container where it can survive drought, heat, wind, cold and long periods of neglect. It can grow just one, or several trunks, making it even more attractive. Native to the Atlas mountains of Morocco, it grows at elevations of up to 1700m where it can get very cold in winter, surviving extreme frost and drought. One of the world's most cold tolerant palm species, it is very popular in Europe.
Sowing Advice
These seeds have already been thoroughly cleaned and cold-stored for several months. They should be sown into a well-drained, sandy compost at any time of the year, and covered thinly with sand or grit and kept moist. Keep at between 15 and 20 degrees C. Germination usually occurs within 4 to 6 weeks although some seeds may take much longer.
