10 Organic California Fan Palm SEEDS.
California Fan Palms - Cold Hardy Palm Trees
(Washingtonia filifera)
Other common names include desert fan palm, California palm, fanpalm, petticoat palm, cotton palm, Arizona fan palm.

Washingtonia filifera grows to 18 metres (59 ft) in height (occasionally to 25 metres (82 ft)) in ideal conditions.

The fronds are up to 3.5–4 metres (11–13 ft) long, made up of a petiole up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) long, bearing a fan of leaflets 1.5–2 metres (4.9–6.6 ft) long. They have long thread-like white fibers and the petiole are pure green with yellow edges and filifera-filaments, between the segments. The trunk is gray and tan and the leaves are gray green. When the fronds die they remain attached and drop down to cloak the trunk in a wide skirt. The shelter that the skirt creates provides a microhabitat for many small birds and invertebrates.

Washingtonia filifera can live from 80 to 250 years or more.

Washingtonia filifera is widely cultivated as an ornamental tree. It is one of the hardiest Coryphoidiae palms, rated as hardy to USDA hardiness zone 8. It will survive temperatures of −10 °C (14 °F) with minor damage, and established plants have survived, with severe leaf damage, brief periods as low as −12 °C (10 °F). The plants grow best in warm temperate climates with dry summers and wetter winters. Specimens outside of Mediterranean climates rarely exceed 15 metres (49 ft).

Washingtonia filifera has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Outdoor/Indoor Use: Both. California Fan Palm Tree can also grow in a pot.

If you grow them in a pot, do they need to be in direct sunlight if they are inside the house? Also, Missouri has a lot of humidity. Will this hurt the trees? Will you send directions on how to plant the seeds (in a pot) for best results along with the seeds to the winner of this auction? Beautiful. God Bless. Michele

No they do not necessarily need to in direct sunlight. But a bright light is best. As far as the humidity, they love it, the more water and humidity the happier they are. They naturalize usually around water or the coast, so they thrive in humidity. As far as soil they don't really care, they just want to grow. Plant the seed 1/2" deep and keep soil moist. You will have them all sprouting. You can soak the seeds for 24 hours before planting to speed up the germination process, but it is not necessary as long as you keep the soil moist. They can also be transplanted if grow in trays or pods, to a pot once the shoot coming up is 1" above soil.
