Phoenix canariensis, commonly called Canary Island date palm, is a large evergreen palm tree with a massive trunk that matures to 40-60′ (less frequently to as much as 90′) tall. Notwithstanding size, this palm is a slow grower which may only reach 10′ tall over the first 15 years.
- The trunk is topped with a rounded crown of upright arching palmate leaves which gracefully spread to 20-40′ wide. Although native to the Canary Islands, this palm is now grown in frost-free areas around the world.
- In the U.S., it is grown in Florida, Georgia (southern coast), Gulf Coast, Texas (southern), Arizona, Nevada and California. It will grow in Hawaii, but distribution there appears to be limited. This palm is noted for having a massive, thick, columnar, single, gray-brown trunk (matures to as much as 4′ in diameter) with distinctive diamond-shaped leaf base scars.
- Winter hardy to USDA Zones 9-11 where this date palm is best grown in fertile, medium moisture, well drained soils in full sun. Tolerates light shade. Although this palm will withstand some frost in winter, it is likely to suffer significant frond damage or die when temperatures dip to 20 degrees F.
- This palm performs well in containers where much more compact growth typically occurs. Container plants often thrive in a soil based potting mix in full sun, but with some part shade during the heat of the day. In cool climates, containers may be overwintered indoors in bright but cool (55-65 degree F.) temperatures.
