Leaves of the California Desert Fan Palms growing at Anza Borrego Desert State Park in Borrego Springs. Anza Borrego’s most famous hike leads to Borrego Palm Canyon, fed by underground springs and shaded by California fan palms, the only palm that is native to California. Anza-Borrego Desert SP lay within the traditional territories of two Native American groups, the Kumeyaay and the Cahuilla. Washingtonia filifera, the desert fan palm, California fan palm, or California palm, is a flowering plant in the palm family Arecaceae, native to the far southwestern United States and Baja California, Mexico. Growing to 15–20 meters tall by 3–6 meters broad, it is an evergreen monocot with a tree-like growth habit. HTBphotos by John and Katharina Notarianni for websites, print and other published media.
