Livistona chinensis - MHNT

Livistona chinensis, the Chinese fan palm[2] or fountain palm,[3] is a species of subtropical palm tree of east Asia. It is native to southern Japan, Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands, southeastern China and Hainan. In Japan, two notable populations occupy islands near the coast of Miyazaki Prefecture, Aoshima and Tsuki Shima.[4] It is also reportedly naturalized in South Africa, Mauritius, Réunion, the Andaman Islands, Java, New Caledonia, Micronesia, Hawaii, Florida, Bermuda, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.[1][2]

Description[edit]

Vegetative characteristics[edit]

Livistona chinensis can attain heights of about 9 to 15 m (30 to 50 ft) and a spread of 4 m (12 ft). The leaves are fan shaped.[2]

Cultivation[edit]

The palm is cultivated as an ornamental tree in gardens and conservatories.[5] It is hardy in USDA zones 9-11, tolerating temperatures down to about 22 °F (−6 °C).[6][7]

This plant can become a weed, or in some ecosystems an invasive species, in places such as Bermuda,[5] Hawaii,[8] Florida wetlands and on some Caribbean Islands.
