Plant Biography
Endemic to the Canary Islands, the Pygmy date palm lives across all seven of the individual islands in a range of habitats, from humid areas just below cloud forest, to semi-arid areas, with the largest population being on La Gomera island.
However, you may be more familiar with its use across the world in warm temperate regions as a street tree. In many of these locations the leaflets are used to create woven products, including crosses for Palm Sunday celebrations.
Expert Tip
Phoenix Palm Pruners
Phoenix canariensis is renowned for its thick, columnar grey-brown trunk with distinctive diamond shaped leaf base scars which form as the crown of arching palmate leaves die and grow higher.
Specialist palm pruners, especially in locations where it is commonly grown, take immense pride in ornamentally trimming the fronds into these beautiful forms.
Care & Size Guidance
Phoenix canariensis is hardy to -8C, or lower when it’s dry, and is particularly resistant to drought and salty winds, making it a perfect candidate for the south coast of the UK.

I have received 3 Phoenix canariensis 3L potted palm trees today. I ordered the smallest size was very impressed. Do deliver the size listed, not like other sites who post out damaged or smaller plants. I couldn’t rate any better for the quality and service. Very health, strong and very well packed! I would definitely recommend buying from The Palm Centre and will be shopping again for more. Well done to the team and keep the work up!
