Best Answer

The California Fan Palm (Washingtonia Filifera) while more common in California and Mexico can also be found growing wild in canyons near Yuma. The Palm Canyon Trail at the Kofa National Wildlife refuge is one of the best places to see these palm trees in Arizona. Note that some suggest these palms were brought into Arizona relatively recently from California and thus aren't truly native. A few sources even claim that the California Palm is a Mediterranean variety that was introduced by the Spaniards. The well established use of the fruit by native people seems to contradict this.
