Canary Island Date Palm (Phoenix canariensis)

Size: 1000L
Sale price$12,144.00

Phoenix canariensis — the Canary Island Date Palm — is an iconic evergreen featuring a thick, upright trunk and a broad crown of deep green, feathery fronds. Native to the Canary Islands, it adds a striking tropical presence to gardens and landscapes.

They look excellent as specimen trees, in avenues, or as focal points, bringing year-round architectural interest. Highly drought-tolerant and salt-spray resistant, this palm thrives in full sun with low maintenance—regular removal of old fronds keeps it looking its best.
