Hi!

 SAVE WATER AND KEEP YOUR LANDSCAPE GORGEOUS

Looking for a way to add a feel of luxury and exoticness to your home? Well, look no further because the Canary Island date palms are your palms for creating that tropical experience no matter how far from a beach your domicile may be. Just lounging under the shade of one of these beauties can instantly make you feel like you've been transported to some remote paradise off the equator.

Although there are some Canary Island date palms that have been recorded at a dizzying height of 131ft (40m), they typically range from 33 to 66 feet (10-20m) in height. While these palms are best suited for growing in large spaces, due to their slow growth rate they can be planted in more modest-sized yards (10ft/33m in 15 years). Its leaves can grow up to 8-15ft (2-4m) and contains up to 200 v-shaped leaflets which taper off to sharp spines at the end. The palm produces vibrant orange flower stalks (3ft/1m in length) that bear orange fruit that contains a large seed. While the fruit is edible it is usually not recommended to eat due to the fibrous pulp.

These palms are drought-tolerant and can handle a variety of soil conditions although sandy and loamy soils are preferred. Canary palms grow best in warm climates but are known to tolerate colder temperatures (no less than 20F).
