Canary Island Date Palm (Phoenix Canariensis) - Green - Size 1m

32 GBP

A relative of the date palm, Phoenix canariensis is a large palm tree, with spreading deep green leaves that arch elegantly from an attractive, stout trunk. During a hot summer, drooping bunches of creamy-yellow flowers may appear. An excellent evergreen specimen plant for the patio or conservatory. Phoenix canariensis enjoys a sheltered position in the UK, will tolerate some low temperatures, but should be moved to an indoor protected spot from autumn to avoid freezing conditions, as it will not survive. The Phoenix Palm is undeniably impressive and can grow to more than 12m in its native Canary Islands. Fortunately, here in the UK and when restricted in a container, it will reach a far more manageable height of 1.5m. Add this tropical beauty to your patio or garden to create a real holiday feel for years to come - instantly conjuring up scenes of a tropical paradise, where its huge leaves waft airily in the sea breeze and you can almost hear the sea lapping at the shore. Supplied as a single, mature potted plant, approximately 80cm - 1m tall in a 19cm pot, ready to plant outside from the end of April. Please note: While your palm tree will be tolerant of dry conditions when fully established, in very hot, dry weather it will need to be watered every day along with the rest of your plants.
