Zone 8-11

From Mexico, this palm is rated zones 8-11 so it is seen everywhere in the southern USA

This is the tall thin palm you see on TV in scenes shot in California. It is rated at 70-100 feet, not fussy for soil or water and very easy to grow. Plant in full sun and fertilize

There is actually a "California" Washingtonia palm as well. Also seen in colder zones such as Las Vegas, is the big fat brother...

Washingtonia filifera

Filifera has a heavy trunk, is fast growing, but not nearly as tall as robusta.  We like the hulky look of the Washingtonia filifera

Here they are near each other so you can compare
