This is the slimmer of the two species of Washingtonia and considered to be slightly less cold tolerant though it grows considerably taller than the foregoing. When young, the two species are not easy to tell apart, though it becomes increasingly evident as they mature. Given the choice of the two species of Washingtonia, however, it should be chosen over W. filifera by those in areas of higher rainfall, as it is more tolerant of dampness and humidity than its cousin, and will do well in almost any climate.
