Washingtonia Filifera- The only native palm to California! AVAILABLE AT Gregory Palm Farms WHERE THE PALMS GROW HAPPY! FULL SERVICE FROM DELIVERY TO INSTALLATION

Hi:
Here we have the California Fan Palm that grows so nicely and slowly in our native state. 
A great palm tree that requires little water.

California Desert Fan Palm
Washingtonia Filifera


If you close your eyes and imagine a typical Southern California landscape, chances are that you've pictured at least one palm tree, if not several, rising from the ground. But despite the diversity and ubiquity of palms in the Los Angeles area, only one species—Washingtonia filifera, the California fan palm—is native to California. All of L.A.'s other palm species, from the slender Mexican fan palms that line so many L.A. boulevards to the feather-topped Canary Island date palm, have been imported. 

Range

Occur naturally in desert oases in isolated areas of the Sonoran and Mojave deserts of southeastern California, southwestern Arizona, and northern Baja California, Mexico, at elevations between 500 and 1,000 feet. Widely cultivated as an ornamental in Southern California.

Habitat

Moist soils along alkaline streams and in mountain canyons.

Description

There are 2,500 species of palms worldwide, with 11 native to North America. The largest of these, and the only palm tree native to western North America, is the California fan palm. It is also known as the desert palm and the California Washingtonia. It should not be confused with the date palm.
The fan palm has a large, gray unbranched trunk with horizontal lines and vertical fissures. The trunk is 2 to 3 feet in diameter and grows 20 to 60 feet high. The fan palm has numerous evergreen leaves, composed of leaf stalks, 3 to 5 feet long, with hooked spines along the edges.
These fan-shaped leaves spread from around the top of the tree while numerous old, dead leaves hang down against the trunk. For this reason it is sometimes also called the petticoat palm. The dead leaves form a protective area that provides habitat and shelter for many creatures, including birds, insects and small rodents.
In the spring, huge clusters of white, 3-lobed, funnel-shaped flowers, about 1/2 inch long, hang down from leaf bases.
The California fan palm does not produce dates, but does fruit elliptical black "berries" about 1/2 inch in diameter. These berries have a very large, brown seed surrounded by a thin, sweet pulp, which native Americans ate fresh or dried. They also ground the seeds into flour. Hooded orioles and coyotes feast on the seeds as well, aiding the palms' proliferation.
Rare groves of the fan palm can be seen in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, near Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park in California, and near Yuma, Arizona.

WE TRIM THE TRUNKS SO THE PALM IS SO AMAZING.

Baldwind Park, In-N-Out, And Washingtonia Robusta Hybrids AND HAMBURGERS! by the Gregory Palm Farms, 714-814-8525 or 760-975-4605 OPEN DAILY COME ON DOWN!


Good Morning Friends,
Gregory Farm Palms had the great honor of installing two Washingtonia Robusta Hybrid palms for In-N-Out at its original location that first opened in 1948 in Baldwin Park. As shown in the pictures above, the palms were installed in the same way they display them in their advertisement adds, crossing each other. In 1972 the first crossed palm trees were planted. One of founder Harry Snyder’s favorite movies, It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, features characters racing to find treasure buried under four palm trees planted to resemble the letter W. Because each In-N-Out store is Harry’s treasure, a tradition of planting crossed palm trees in front of most In-N-Out locations began
This location will be turned into a museum which would only seem right since Harry Snyder and wife Esther first introduced In-N-Out in this location back in 1948.
Gregory Palm Farms had such a pleasure working in this location and the Washingtonia Robusta Hybrids look amazing, soaring high. These palm trees can soar over 100 feet and can resist most climates, it is an all around sturdy palm with low water needs.
So if you are in the market for some Washingtonia Robustas or any other palm, give us a call at 714-814-8525 or come by our farms!

Have a great Day!
