No, this palm tree can be placed in a place with animals just fine. However, this palm does get thorns, so animals should not jump on it, etc.
The rate of growth of the Washingtonia robusta depends on its size and age, or the sap stage, but at its peak it grows up to a metre a year! This does require optimal conditions.
The Washingtonia robusta is hardy to -5 degrees Celsius. We recommend bringing the palm tree inside when it starts to freeze. Freezing temperatures with wind are disastrous for the Washingtonia.
