California Fan Palm |
California Fan Palm is the only palm native to CA. It populates the areas along the San Andreas Fault where water has seeped to the surface and formed springs. It grows to 60' tall and 20' wide. It has light green fronds 3'-6' long. One of the most common uses of the palms fronds by Native Californians were in forming housing and hatched ramadas. Fronds and frond fiber were also used to make sandals, cordage, nets and mats.
