In mountain habitaL", it has been known to evcn receive snow cover. Thoughout this broad range, it is typically found on poor, rocky soils, and thus is vcry adaptable to a wide range of soiltypcs in the landscape as long a" they arc well-drained. It is highly prizcd in warm temperate areas where few palms are reliably winter hardy, and a large clump makes a striking specimen pLml. The skirt of dead leaves below the crown is usually trimmed off to accent the mat of dark fibers that clothe the trunk for many years. The variation in leaf color and habit is extraordinary. In a nursery row of European fan palms, it is sometimes difficult to find any two thatlex)k exactly alike. Its slow rate of growth allows this palm to be grown in a large container for many years. Growth of C. humilis is best in full sun, but it also retains an excellent appearance in light shade. Be/rock's Guide To Landl'cape PalmI' 29 Blank Page 1 of 1 .~~~i~~..Y~~~.~~y.....
