Plant Details: Mexican Cotton Palm
Category Palms  
Zone: 8 - 10
  
Out_of_stock: Y
Common Name Mexican Cotton Palm Variety  
Regional Names Sky Duster
Botanical Name Washingtonia robusta
Description While not as cold hardy as its Cailfornia brother W. filifera, it is more moisture and humidity tolerant. We are not having good success getting them to grow without winter protection in zone 7, so certainly this species should do well in zone 8 and warmer. All this said, who will be the first to be successful in zone 7? It is easy to grow and quite fast.
Notes
 Please give us any reports of this species growing in zone 7! All of our 1 gallons are grown in a 4x4" square x 14" deep pots and 3 gallon are grown in 7x7" square x 18" deep pots to allow for a deeper root system which aids in our Palms winter survival. Customers are having much better success with our palms surviving the winter over growers that use traditional shallow pots.
