The palm tree pictured is the Washingtonia palm, also known as the Mexican fan palm. It is considered one of the most beautiful and popular ornamental palms used in landscaping gardens, streets, and outdoor spaces.

Washingtonia palms are characterized by the following:

Leaves: They have large, bright green, fan-shaped leaves, giving them an attractive and elegant appearance.
Growth: They are known for their rapid growth compared to other palm species and can reach a height of 25 meters.
Tolerance: They are highly resistant to high temperatures and drought, making them ideal for desert climates and hot regions such as the Gulf countries.
Care: They require regular pruning (known as trimming) to maintain their aesthetic shape and protect them from pests.

Their prices vary according to the length of the trunk and the density of the leaves, as they are sold in different sizes starting from a few meters and reaching great heights.
