Washingtonia robusta (Mexican Fan Palm or Mexican Washingtonia) is a palm tree native to western Sonora and Baja California in northwestern Mexico. It is reportedly naturalized in Spain, the Canary Islands, Réunion, New Zealand, Hawaii, Florida and California.[3] Washingtonia robusta grows to 25 m (82 ft) tall, rarely up to 30 m (98 ft). The leaves have a petiole up to 1 m (3.3 ft) long, and a palmate fan of leaflets up to 1 m long. The inflorescence is up to 3 m (9.8 ft) long, with numerous small pale orange-pink flowers. The fruit is a spherical, blue-black drupe, 6–8 mm (0.24–0.31 in) diameter; it is edible, though thin-fleshed.[citation needed] (From Wikipedia on 20.8.14) Araceae, Arecaceae and Zingiberaceae Fortnight: Arecaceae- Washingtonia robusta from California-GSAUG58 : Attachments (2). 1 post by 1 author.
