| Hi all, I was wondering how deep rooted palms are? specifically a California Fan palm.
Also, the palm I have is leaning! Is that a problem? Makes me nervous when there are high winds as it leans towards my property... and the winds alone seem to make them "bounce" |

| If you're nervous now ... wait until this grows taller. A bouncing palm is a crazy palm. Post a pic and perhaps those here can better access your situation. Cheers, las_palmas_norte |

| It's not so much that they are deep rooted as they make a "mat" of a bazillion small roots. There won't be any bigger that your thumb but they range everywhere. Given good water around a broad area around the palm, it can lean and grow 40 feet tall, and still take a 90 mile per hour wind. |
