PHOENIX ROEBELENII THE PYGMY DATE PALM

Most people are familiar with this species, the Pygmy Date Palm. It is naturally a single trunks species. But, they are usually sold as “triples” – three individual plants in the same pot – so often, that people think it’s a suckering species. And, 99% of plants are sold as a “multiples”. Over a few decades, this species can get to a height of over ten feet. They are slow growing. Triples grow slower than singles. This species is a type of Date Palm, so it does have spines on its stems. Growth rate is medium to slow. It likes full sun and is cold hardy to about 22 degrees F. Of note, it is one of the least cold hardy of all the Date Palms. Shown here are some shippable 5 gallon which we’re putting on Special. These are locally grown and much hardier and stronger than imported plants like you see at the depot stores.
