The Mediterranean palm tree is a versatile tree native to the Mediterranean region that is popular for landscaping due to its drought tolerance and adaptability to various climates. It is a medium-sized tree, typically reaching heights of 15-20 feet, with a single trunk and fan-shaped leaves that can grow up to 6 feet long. Mediterranean palm trees are dioecious, with separate male and female trees producing small yellow flowers and green fruits, respectively. They thrive in full sun and well-draining soil, but they are not cold-tolerant and should be planted in frost-free areas.
