Chusan Palm
Chusan Palm is a hardy evergreen palm with a stout trunk clothed in fibre and topped by large, fan-shaped dark green leaves. In summer, sprays of yellow flowers appear, followed by blue-black fruits that birds enjoy. Growing into a tall, architectural tree, it is drought resistant and carries the RHS | Award of Garden Merit. If you’re asking what palm will cope well with Irish gardens yet keep an exotic feel, this one is a dependable choice.
