California fan palm is the palm native to California. It has a robust trunk and commonly grows to about 50 feet in height. The leaves are large ranging from 5-10 feet and sharply toothed at the base with many thread-like fibers. The inflorescence is equally large and can be about 16 feet in size. The California fan palm can be found in moist ecosystems such as seeps, springs. It should be kept moist, but needs well-draining soils as it is potentially susceptible to root rot. It does not reproduce vegetatively and commonly lives up to 150 years. Many animals consume the seeds and aid in seed dispersal. It is a great habitat plant for many critters and wildlife.
