phoenix canariensis canary date palm seed #A3308
Phoenix canariensis

Canary Island Date Palm
Phoenix canariensis
Massive palm tree native to the Canary Islands, with a large trunk covered with a diamond pattern and a crown of arching pinate leaves, which toward the stem, are covered with spines.  Fruits are formed, but they are not very palatable.  Very slow growing in the beginning of its life, the growth rate increases once the full trunk diameter is reached, making a mid-life specimen look a bit disproportionate.  It makes a good potted plant in a well drained soil in bright light.  Hardy to 20F (-6.6C); height: 60ft.(40ft. spread)
#A3308   Packet of approximately 30 seeds     $6.00

Pigmy Date Palm
Phoenix roebelenii
A small feather palm with a slender trunk and long, slightly spiny fronds emerging from a central core.  The tree flowers in the spring, producing 1/2in. brown or dark purple fruits which then ripen in the fall.  They make great container palms and like lots of water during the growing season.  Not particular about sunshine, they can thrive in full sun to full shade. Hardy to 30F (-1.1C); height: 7ft.
