Chamaerops ritchieana, Mazari palm
Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan; up to 1800 m high
-20°C (-4°F)
A gorgeous palm with a massive trunk, it can reach 10 m in height. It often has a leaning trunk, and sometimes grows in clumps. The base of the petioles is covered in an orange woolly substance. Its growth is quite slow.
Plant it in full sun, in a well-drained soil. It is heat- and drought-tolerant, but grows faster with regular watering.
Young shoots and fruit are edible.
