Although not the northernmost palm in the world ( Rhapidophyllum and some Sabal species grow further north on the Atlantic coast of North America), it is one of the hardiest, as it grows at much higher altitudes, up to 2400 m in the mountains of southern China.
The Chusan Palm has been cultivated in China and Japan for thousands of years, grown for its coarse but very strong leaf fibre, used for making rope s, sacks, and other coarse cloth where great strength is important.

I Skandinavien är Rhapidophyllum lämpligast i de trakter som har varmare somrar tex sydöstra Danmark och södra Sverige upp till Mälardalen.
Eftersom Rhapidophyllum växer så dåligt i Skandinavien så är det tveksamt om den verkligen är värd att plantera ut. I de flesta fall är Trachycarpus trots allt att föredra framför Rhapidophyllum.

Rich soil over limestone in shady mesic to wet woodlands, and along banks of ravines and streams; 20--100 m; Ala., Fla., Ga., Miss., S.C. The palm usually grows prodecumbently with adventitious roots emerging from the trunk where it contacts moist soil (A. Shuey and R. Wunderlin 1977).
