It is a slow-growing plant that can reach a height of 1.5 to 2.0 meters and a spread of 1.5 to 2.5 meters. The plant has a single trunk that is covered with brown fibers and is topped with a dense crown of fan-shaped leaves that are green or bluish-green in color.

The plant produces small, yellow flowers that are borne in clusters on branched inflorescences. The flowers are followed by small, round fruits that are black or brown in color and contain a single seed. The European Fan Palm is a hardy plant that can tolerate various soil types and temperatures. It is also drought-tolerant and can grow in full sun or partial shade.
