Phoenix Canariensis - Canary Island Date Palm The Canary Island Date Palm is probably the most imposing palm tree in the world. It epitomises the South of France and the Mediterranean holiday. The scale of this palm when mature makes it suitable only for large gardens or spaces large enough that it can spread its huge crown of fronds. Thankfully since it is so slow growing most of us can enjoy this incredible palm through its juvenile years. For those able to accommodate larger sizes and meet the cultural requirements please contact us for a quote. It makes a splendid palm for outdoor pot culture where it can be grown in large tubs for many years. It will thrive in the inner city and warmer parts of the UK where temperatures do not drop beyond -7c and lower when mature. Some impressive examples can be seen growing in London gardens and along the South West coast of England. Requirements are free draining soil rich in organic matter, liberal watering and enough room for it to mature. This is such a majestic palm and will look fabulous in any exotic garden in the company of fan palms such as Trachycarpus or Chamaerops humilis, broadleaf evergreens,cordylines, phormiums, cycads, olives and bananas - ESSENTIAL!

| * Please note that sizes stated are very approximate and the heights of the plants sent may differ from those in the catalogue. While we try to be honest in describing the size of plants, they are, after all, living things and two plants in the same batch, ostensibly the same 'size' may be very different from each other. Additionally, photographs of palms in the catalogue are often of mature trees and obviously young plants are likely to have a rather different appearance, taking many years, for example, to form a trunk. |
