WASHINGTONIA PALM – MEXICAN FAN PALM
The fast-growing, extremely hardy Washingtonia Palm can provide big tropical landscape appeal in a hurry. Washingtonias grow fast – yet the rate can vary from palm to palm. No two grow at the same pace, so pairs of these palms are not a good choice for symmetrical landscape design. They’re a favorite with builders who want to give a finished look to a newly constructed home, and with homeowners who want more instant gratification.
Washingtonia Palms (also known as Mexican Fan Palms, Washingtonia robusta) are ornamental palms that grow very quickly because of their tall, straight trunks and large, fan-shaped leaves. Washingtonia Palms are typically used for landscape design in Dubai for commercial landscape development because they provide an amazing vertical feature in commercial landscapes throughout the city in places like streets, parks, hotels, and other high-end outdoor locations. The Washingtonia Palm has a high level of adaptation and is highly valued for its drought-resistant, low-maintenance, and year-round elegance in modern garden landscape design and sustainable landscape design throughout the entire UAE.
The Washingtonia Palm has been used as an important part of landscape design in Dubai due mainly from their tall, beautiful, and providing that authentic tropical look they provide to landscapes. As well as having long, smooth, and fan-type leaves that grow quickly, making it an extremely popular selection for enhancing villa landscaping, hospitality projects, and large landscapes or parks.

The other way for sustainable landscape design is to use the Washingtonia palm tree. The Washingtonia palm has been chosen due to its durability; it is an easy-to-care-for plant and can be used in dry and hot conditions. The Washingtonia palm requires regular water, fertilizer, and pruning during establishment to develop a healthy canopy while still having a beautiful canopy at the time of establishment. After establishment, the Washingtonia can be maintained by periodically watering, fertilizing, and pruning to maintain a healthy and attractive plant canopy.

- Water regularly during establishment

- Remove dry or damaged fronds periodically
