Canary Island Date Palm Phoenix Canariensis: Pineapple Palm The Canary Island Date Palm is one of the most majestic of all palm trees. This sub-tropical palm tree has been grown for exotic landscape for over 200 years. The Canary Island Dare Palm is also known as the "Pineapple Palm" because of the unique pineapple shape it forms after it is trimmed. This large, stately palm often reaches a size too massive for most residential landscapes but, fortunately, it is very slow-growing and will take a considerable amount of time to reach its 50 to 60-foot-height. Canary Island Date Palm is most impressive with its single, upright, thick trunk topped with a crown of 8 to 15-foot-long, stiff leaves with extremely sharp spines at their bases. The stalks of inconspicuous flowers are replaced with clusters of one-inch-diameter, orange-yellow, date-like, ornamental fruits which ripen in early summer. The trunk can reach a diameter of four feet and is covered with an attractive, diamond-shaped pattern from old leaf scars.
Canary Island Date Palm should be grown in full sun on
fertile, moist soil for best growth but is tolerant of any
well-drained soil. It can be planted on the inland side of
coastal condominiums and large homes due to moderately high
salt-tolerance. It does well as a street or avenue tree,
even in confined soil spaces. Canary Island Date Palm will
require pruning to remove old fronds. Older leaves
frequently become yellow from magnesium or
potassium-deficiency. Preventive applications of appropriate
fertilizer helps avoid this. Avoid damage to the trunk by
locating it properly in the landscape and keeping landscape
maintenance equipment away.
Only prune fronds which hang below the horizontal. Do not remove those growing upright since this may slow the growth and reduce vigor. Min.Temp. 20.8 F / -6.3 C USDA Zone 9a - EGF Zone H4
