How To Plant European Fan Palm
This green majesty will thrive in your garden simply because it is the easiest palm to own. They can easily be grown in many different settings as well as indoors. Specifically, these palms flourish in various types of soil and don't require harmful chemicals.
How To Water
For the first week, water your palm tree 2-3 times a week. Once a week for the remainder of the first year after planting will suffice. The soil should be moist and well drained, always water more during a drought and less when there is rainfall.
How To Fertilize
Incorporate Elements Starter Plant Food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant food granular form on an annual basis each late fall. If planting in the fall, use Elements fertilizer while planting and start your regular annual fertilizing the following fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established as it gives your tree the nutrients it needs to produce lush new growth for the following spring.
How To Prune
Remove any fronds as they turn yellow or brown. This helps your palm tree remain in its attractive state while paving the way for new, fresh growth.

Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
