Phoenix canariensis | Canary Island Date Palm

from $25.00

Canary Island date palm (Phoenix canariensis) is a type of tall, evergreen tree that is native to the Canary Islands, a group of islands located off the northwest coast of Africa. It is known for its distinctive, bushy crown of fronds and its tall, slender trunk. Canary Island date palms are often grown in warm, subtropical climates, and are prized for their ornamental value and as a source of shade.

Canary Island date palms can be grown from seeds, although it can be challenging to find seeds for this species. The seeds are small and brown, and are found inside the fruit of the tree. To grow a Canary Island date palm tree from seeds, you will need to start the seeds indoors in a seed tray or pots filled with a well-draining seed-starting mix. Once the seeds have germinated and the seedlings are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted into larger pots or into the ground. Canary Island date palms prefer well-draining soil and full sun, and should be watered regularly until they are established.

It is important to note that Canary Island date palm seeds have a hard, woody seed coat that needs to be broken down or "scarified" in order for the seeds to germinate. This can be done by soaking the seeds in water for several days or by scratching the seed coat with a file or sandpaper before planting. Additionally, it can be helpful to keep the seedlings in a warm, humid environment until they are ready to be transplanted.
