Mediterranean dwarf palm forms multiple trunks clothed in fan‑shaped grey‑green leaves, eventually 2–4 m, perfect for containers or coastal borders. Extremely drought‑, wind‑ and salt‑tolerant, hardy to −10 °C, it thrives in full sun and poor, stony soils. Summer brings yellow panicles that attract pollinators, followed by orange fruits. Remove suckers to keep a single clump or let them sprout for a natural thicket.
