Windmill Palm
Information by: Jerry Sortomme Photographer: Normans/Sortomme/Dave Ryd
Description
This easy-to-grow palm of medium height will mature to a size of 30', and its slender trunk is covered with dense, heavy fiber topped with a crown of rich green, fan-shaped leaves that could spread 8' wide. Once it's established, it needs occasional watering. This is a great palm for a tropical theme near the pool.

Water Saving Tip:
Watering every day results in shallow roots.
Instead, water deeply every few days using the Cycle and Soak method (two or more short run times, each separated by about an hour).
