===Common Names:===
Dwarf Fan Palm,<br/>
European Fan Palm,<br/>
Mediterranean Fan Palm

===Distribution & Habitat:===
Rocky headlands and low hills around the Mediterranean coast.
Its range extends from Africa's Atlas Mountains in Morocco to Spain
and France and eastward to Turkey
(see humilis in Sicily).

===Description:===
A very variable species, usually clumping, however,
also occasionally single trunked, to about 3m high. Small, palmate leaves,
to about 50cm across, at the end of a heavily spined petiole.

===Culture:===
Prefers full sun in a very well drained position. Not suited to the true tropics,
but will thrive in a sub-tropical climate with a good dry season.
One of the most cold tolerant palm species, withstanding even heavy frosts,
so it is very popular in Europe, and the USA.
Quite slow growing. A very good container plant.
