The Canary Island Date Palm (Phoenix canariensis) is perhaps the most iconic and classically beautiful palm we offer for your landscape. Undoubtedly, when you think of palm trees, it's this towering beauty with its elegant trunk, clusters of orangish fruit and showy crown of glossy fronds that comes to mind.
One of the most popular landscape palms, the stout form of the Canary Island Date Palm is a familiar sight in most warm temperate and subtropical countries of the world.
Keep in mind that these magnificent palms can grow up to sixty feet tall, with a canopy that spans some thirty-five feet in diameter. Some specimens even reach upwards of one hundred feet, but these are a bit rarer. Although they can become quite large, they are also very slow-growing, averaging six inches of new growth per year. In warmer climates, the female trees produce clusters of vibrant orangish to reddish fruit. The pulp of these fruits is edible, but there isn't much in comparison with the large seed. Despite being fruit-bearing, they do not attract many pests. As the trees grow, the trunks develop a fascinating and beautiful geometric diamond pattern, making the Canary Island date palm a good choice if you have a semi-formal landscape that requires a little more symmetry.
