PLANT PROFILE
Phoenix roebelenii — commonly known as the Dwarf Date Palm — is a compact, fine-leafed palm that has become a top choice for modern landscape designs. Its controlled size, upright trunk, and feathered foliage allow it to add texture and structure without dominating space.
It’s well-suited to residential, commercial, and civic applications — often used in clusters, underplanted groupings, or as a standalone feature in courtyards and poolside zones. Unlike larger palm species, it works in tight sites and containers, making it highly versatile.
This palm prefers full sun to part shade and performs best in well-drained soil. Once established, it shows good drought tolerance and moderate cold hardiness, adapting well to a variety of climates. It is slow-growing and low-maintenance, making it a reliable long-term planting choice.
Phoenix roebelenii delivers a clean, architectural look and is regularly specified for projects needing soft vertical interest without scale issues.
