Q.Palm Trees

Zone North Highlands 95660 | Anonymous added on April 21, 2025 | Answered

I bought my house 7 months ago. They came with beautiful Palm trees. But I’m afraid there going to grow to big. They were planted close to the house. I was hoping to get insight on how big they will grow? New at gardening and hoping to absorb as much information as possible. I love plants since they create a beautiful environment for birds, insects and other species to live and be part of mother nature. Thanks

Most species do grow quite tall with some of them remaining on the shorter side, depending on the cultivar. Some of them won't shed as bad, but yours looks like it may be true to the typical fan palm. Your local extension service may be able to help test and find out its specific cultivar to tell you more. Otherwise, this article will help with the care of these palms:

It also could be a windmill palm so here is information on those:
