The Fiji Fan Palm Tree, scientific name Pritchardia pacifica, is one of the world’s most beautiful fan palms. It is an ornamental plant that is great for indoors or outdoors. You can’t help, but think about Hawaii by looking at this palm. This species is particularly tolerant of salty soils, making it an excellent choice for planting along the coasts in the tropics. This striking fan palm has solitary trunk with an interesting fiber patterning at the base. Trunk is straight, smooth, about 20 inches in diameter, topped with crown of 15-20 large fronds.Leaves are palmate, or fan shaped, about 7ft long by 6ft wide. They range in color from dull green to bright lime green. Unlike many other fan palms, the Fiji Fan Palm has no spines along the petioles. Pritchardia pacifica is a slow growing palm that can get up to 10-20 ft tall and 5-10 ft wide. Grows best in moist but well drained soil. Propagated by seeds. Fresh seed germinates within 30 days. Transplant the palm at 1″ depth using a well draining soil mix. Plant in a sunny, moist, but well drained position.
