Different types of chamaerops

The chamaerops is divided into three well-known varieties in the mypalmshop store. Despite similarities, each variety has distinct characteristics.

Chamaerops humilis

The chamaerops humilis is the most famous European dwarf palm, native to the region around the Mediterranean. The palm's fan-shaped leaves are fresh green and grow close together. This palm remains relatively compact compared to other palms, making it ideal for a pot on a terrace or as an addition to your garden.

Chamaerops humilis cerifera

The chamaerops humilis cerifera is similar in maintenance and hardiness to the chamaerops humilis, but its appearance is different. The leaves are bluer in color, and the leaf stems are spiny. This palm variety can be planted both in the ground and in a pot. The chamaerops humilis cerifera originates from the Atlas Mountains in Northwest Africa.

Chamaerops humilis vulcano

The chamaerops humilis vulcano is a hardy dwarf palm that grows well both in the ground and in pots. Like the chamaerops humilis, it remains compact, making it perfect for smaller gardens and terraces. The leaves are dark green on top and silvery gray underneath, creating a striking contrast in your garden. The chamaerops humilis vulcano grows more slowly than the other varieties, but it becomes fuller over time. This palm comes from the Italian island of Vulcano.

Why buy a European dwarf palm?

The European dwarf palm is smaller than other palms, which can be an advantage for gardens with limited space. This palm is suitable for the European climate and can tolerate cold temperatures down to -10°C. However, in winter, when there is heavy rain, frost, or snow, it is recommended to protect the palm from moisture in the crown. This can be done by placing an umbrella above it or keeping the palm under a shelter.

The fan palm does well in direct sunlight but dislikes being wet. It needs at least five hours of sunlight per day and should be watered regularly. In the sun, the palm develops a wax layer that protects it from the sun. After a rain shower, this wax layer may wash off, but the palm remains well-protected.

European dwarf palms in various sizes

The chamaerops comes in various sizes, from small palms for balconies to larger ones for gardens. The mypalmshop assortment offers palms ranging from 10 cm to those that can grow over 4 meters tall. Choose the palm that fits your garden or balcony best.
