Canary Island Date Palm (Phoenix Canariensis)
The majestic Canary Island Date Palm Tree is easily recognized by it’s crown of leaves and trunk characteristics. When the tree is pruned properly, the bottom of the crown seems to have a pineapple appearance. The Canary Island Date Palm is a beautiful stately palm that comes from a group of islands off the coast of Africa called of course the Canary Islands. The palm comes from the Phoenix Lineage and is equipped with sharp needle pointed thorns which run up along the leaf stem.
This iconic tree stands by itself and needs no introduction, it is usually found in all the main resorts and cosmopolitan centers across many tropical and sub tropical areas. The palm makes a wonderful specimen for anyone who wants to make a statement of elegance. Once the tree has matured as long as it is watered regularly and fertilized three to four times a year it will easily grow to a stately size and crown its top with large 5-7 m long deep green leaves which spiral around it giving the tree it’s stately crown.
