Canary Island Date Palm
Phoenix canariensis
About this plant
Heavier and more architectural than the date palm, with a massive trunk and a dense round crown. A single specimen anchors a forecourt or a roundabout; a row of them defines an approach road.
Planting & care
Full sun, deep soil, generous space - the crown reaches 8-10 m across. Water regularly in the first years. Clean the crown annually and keep to the weevil treatment programme.
