Phoenix
reclinata * Senegal Date Palm |
The slender trunks of the
Senegal Date Palm are magnificent. To look its best Phoenix reclinata
should be kept thinned and have the
pups removed when you have enough stalks. Phoenix reclinata trees are a true menace while the fronds
are left low enough that they could be run into. The lower leaves of the fronds are
wicked enough to stick you and sharp enough that you will remember for quite some time to
come. Phoenix reclinata will pup prolifically and will make a beautiful natural clump.
The Senegal Date Palm is hardy
to the low 20's or even into the teens but all leaves will be lost well into
Spring if it gets that low. Phoenix reclinata can make a fine security hedge if you let them go. They are
native to tropical Africa. They also sometimes go under the name of Phoenix
paludosa.
