Zone 8-11

From Mexico, this palm is rated zones 8-11 so it is seen everywhere in the southern USA

This is the tall thin palm you see on TV in scenes shot in California. It is rated at 70-100 feet, not fussy for soil or water and very easy to grow. Plant in full sun and fertilize

There is actually a "California" Washingtonia palm as well. Also seen in colder zones such as Las Vegas, is the big fat brother, Washingtonia filifera.  Filifera has a heavy trunk, is fast growing, but not nearly as tall as robusta.  Here they are in a row so you can compare
