Product information
Meet the illustrious Canary Date Palm, a botanical marvel that effortlessly adds architectural grandeur to your conservatory or patio. Distinguished by its striking appearance, this plant features stiff, gracefully arching leaves that emerge from a compact, column-like trunk. Originating from the Canary Islands, the Phoenix canariensis thrives in sheltered garden spots and can withstand temperatures as low as -6C (21F). Its adaptability extends to being an exceptional evergreen specimen for both patio and conservatory settings, thriving splendidly in containers. Honored with the esteemed RHS Award of Garden Merit, the Phoenix Palm is undeniably impressive.

- Grow Canary Island date palm in containers or sheltered borders in a fertile, moist, well-drained soil in full sun. If growing date palms in patio containers use a loam based compost such as John Innes No.2 or 3. Choose a container only slightly bigger than the pot supplied. Phoenix canariensis plants can be placed outdoors on sunny patios, or in a conservatory or greenhouse. In all but the mildest areas they will need to be brought under cover for the winter.
- Feed and water Phoenix plants regularly. Once established, Canary Island date palms are drought tolerant and plants grown outdoors will require less attention. Palms need little pruning. In spring remove dead or damaged foliage from lower down on the trunk. Wear gloves when pruning to avoid irritation to skin. In winter, move container-grown plants to a frost-free position and keep the compost on the dry side. In mild areas Canary date palms may be overwintered outdoors if grown in sheltered borders and offered some winter protection with horticultural fleece. Repot container grown plants into increasingly larger pots as they increase in size. Caution: Foliage may be irritant to skin.
