Native to Tonga, the Fiji fan palm is a low maintenance plant. This commonly cultivated fan palm boasts large fan-shaped fronds that are almost as wide as they are long. The flowers bloom in the summer and have a pleasant smell. The beautiful fruit is a shiny and brown nut. The solitary palm tree can grow up to 30 feet and is both salt and wind tolerant. It can grow in some shade. There are issues with Fiji fan palm getting lethal yellowing. They tend to keep their fronds more than other Pritchardia species.
