Origin
The Washingtonia robusta 'Hybrid' (240-320) is a palm tree that comes originally from the southwest of North America. This palm exactly comes from the areas of Southern California, Arizona and Northwest Mexico. In English, this palm species is also known as the 'Mexican Fan Palm' or 'Skyduster'.

Characteristics
This palm tree is characterised by its tall trunk and fan-shaped leaves. The trunk generally grows to a height of between 240 and 320 centimetres. The brown, fibrous pattern of the trunk gives the palm an exotic and robust appearance. The green, fan-shaped leaves can become up to 1.5 meters wide and give the palm tree its characteristic look.

Care
The care for the Washingtonia robusta 'Hybrid' requires some attention but is generally straightforward. This palm tree likes a well-draining soil and preferably stands in a sunny spot. The Washingtonia robusta 'Hybrid' is frost-resistant to a certain extent, but it is recommended to protect the palm with winter protection during harsh frost. When growing this palm, it is important to water regularly but beware of over-watering to prevent root rot.
