The listing, California Fan Palm 20 seeds has ended.

20 seeds for the California Fan Palm. I have included the Wikipedia info about them as I am not an expert on the subject.

Washingtonia filifera is the only palm native to the Western United States and 'palm iconic' California. The primary populations are found in desert riparian habitats at spring fed oases in the Colorado Desert (Low Desert) and throughout a major portion of the Mojave Desert; with all populations extant in isolated disjunct populations throughout the stated regions. It is found in the Sonoran Desert along the Gila River in Yuma, Maricopa County, Pima County, Pinal County, in Mojave County (along the Colorado and in Mountain springs along the Colorada and in Yavapai – all are counties in Arizona as well as a large population at warm springs and several other isolated locaitions in Clark County, Nevada. It is also known in northern Baja California of Mexico. [2] [6] It is an naturalized in the warm springs near Death Valley and in the extreme northwest of Sonora Mexico, and also in Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands. [2][7] As an ornamental tree it is cultivated in suitable temperate climates worldwide.
The Washingtonia filifera palm grows to 18 metres (59 ft) in height (occasionally to 25 metres (82 ft)) in ideal moisture and microclimate conditions. "

The leaf fronds are up to 6 feet (1.8 m) 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, filifera-filaments, between the segments. 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.

these are amazing! I loved them, too, when I had my other Listia acct that was deleted today for no real good reason at all. If they had to delete one of my accts, why did they delete the best one? Sure hope you and others don't get your acct. suspended for no reason. God bless.

Listia also, if they ever do delete your acct for no reason, will issue you a "no reply" email, with no way of calling them, or writing them.

These, I'm sure will do ok in zone 7. Do them the same as the Queen palms and keep them indoors till 5'-6'.

If you are asking if they will grow there, I'd say yes, they are fairly cold tolorent once they reach about 5'-6'. If you can keep them in pots until then, put them out in the spring and summer and back in the house, garage or greenhouse in the winter.

my pleasure.... be sure to google the care and planting needs of these trees as I am certainly not an expert. I just know that I've seen them grow in some pretty northern states along the coast. Good luck to you!
