Meditteranean Dwarf Palm (Chamaerops humilis) is a exotic tree included in the City of Sydney tree species list. Council data indicates approximately 6 m high and 3 m spread, with a palm canopy form. Its recorded local performance is somewhat reliable. Final selection should still account for available soil volume, services, exposure and the mature canopy required on the site.
