Phoenix
canariensis~ Canary Island Date Palm |
Phoenix
canariensis is one of the hardier palms. I have seen the Canary
Island Date Palm weather temperatures into the teens. This is also
one of the larger palms. Phoenix canariensis can grow as much as 3
feet per year. The Canary Island Date Palm has fronds that are very
spiny near the base. Phoenix canariensis is one of the most popular
palms in shopping malls because of the low cost for a substantial
tree. The trees are often "pineappled" like these to keep
fronds from falling on cars or pedestrians. Phoenix canariensis is
susceptable to a fungal disease that kills the tops of the trees.
