Washingtonia robusta, commonly known as the Mexican Fan Palm, is a tall, fast-growing evergreen tree native to Mexico and the southwestern United States. Typically reaching 15 to 25 meters in height, it features a slender, smooth trunk topped with a large crown of fan-shaped, blue-green fronds. The tree produces small, creamy-white flowers in large, branching clusters, followed by black dates. Washingtonia robusta thrives in well-drained, sandy soils and full sun, making it highly drought-tolerant once established. It is often used in landscaping for its dramatic height, tropical appearance, and ability to withstand hot, dry conditions, especially in coastal and desert regions.
