A bargain........£ 4.00 !!!! Washingtonia Robusta....

nice one dotty its a bit like the one i got i think ;o)

Is it San, they are great arn't they.......I could not believe the price.

well done , great bargain

sorry dotty mine is a canaries date palm at £3 but all tropical lol

Great bargain ..DD2 I have given up on Canaries date palms at 1 stage i had 3 and even with winter wrapping they have all died on me..:o((((((

really mushy, i will put it in garage then, it has window for light in there so should be ok

Mushy have just lost our date palm this is the second one and it was a good size too. Mind you at £3.00 ? will give Wilko's another shot.

Dottydaisy2:

These palms grow very quickly. They grow best when each palm is in a separate pot, because they grow very tall.

Washingtonia robusta - Mexican Fan palm is a weed here in San Diego, CA. I have hundreds every year popping up under my tall Norfolk Island tree (from the birds)...which I'm constantly pulling out. Maybe I should send some to the U.K. : > )

Del you would make a small fortune if you did.........they wont grow too tall here though....will they?

Dottydaisy2:

They will grow slower in a pot and stay a manageable height.

Here they grow wild everywhere in California...especially in canyon areas here in San Diego. They also grow pretty quickly to100 feet/ 31 meters or more tall.

I would be popular with the neighbours...if they grew that tall !!!

Dottydaisy2:

You would be popular until hundreds of Washingtonia robusta seedlings started popping up in your neighbor's yards. lol!. : > )
