==Species==

 

==Usus==

 

Both species are cultivated as ornamental trees, widely planted in California in particular, but also in [[Florida]], extreme southwest [[Utah]], southern [[Arizona]], southern [[New Mexico]], western and southern [[Texas]], the [[Mediterranean]] region in southern [[Europe]] like [[Croatia]], parts of [[Australia]] and the [[leeward]] sides of the [[Hawaii]]an Islands. The species is also attempted, rather unsuccessfully, in cooler climates such as western [[Oregon]] and [[Washington]], the [[Columbia Basin]], and the milder parts of the southern [[British Isles]]. ''W. filifera'' is actually very [[hardy palms|hardy]] in a dry climate and able to survive brief temperatures in the vicinity of -15 °C (5 °F) provided the air and soil are not too wet, and the afternoon temperatures are not too cold. Intolerance of wet, prolonged cold is the main reason the ''filifera'' species cannot grow properly in temperate marine climates. ''W. robusta'' is less sensitive to moisture than ''filifera'', but far more easily damaged by cold.-->
