Livistona chinensis (Jacq.) R. Br. ex Mart. Chinese fan palm
Chinese fan palms are native to southern Japan, Taiwan, and some of the islands in the South China sea. They are not found in the wild in North America. Identification: Trees are 30-50' (9.1-15 m) high and up to 12' (3.7 m) around. Fan-shaped leaf clusters have swordlike leaves up to 6' (1.8 m) long. The leaves have tapered ribbon-like segments that sway in the breeze, suggesting an effect like a fountain. The petioles, or stems that connect the leaves to the tree, have sharp spines. Flowers are inconspicuous and mostly hidden. Fruits are bluish-black, resembling olives. Online References:
