During a hot summer, drooping bunches of creamy-yellow flowers may appear. Holding a prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, the Canary Island date palm makes an excellent evergreen specimen plant for the patio or conservatory. Phoenix canariensis enjoys a sheltered position in the UK, will tolerate low temperatures, but will not survive freezing conditions. The Phoenix Palm is undeniably impressive and can grow to more than 12m in its native Canary Islands. Fortunately, here in the UK and when restricted in a container, it reaches a much more manageable height of 1.5m. Add this tropical beauty to your patio or garden to create a real holiday feel for years to come - instantly conjuring up scenes of a tropical paradise, where its huge leaves waft airily in the sea breeze and you can almost hear the sea lapping at the shore. Supplied as a single, mature potted plant, approx. 1m tall, in a 19cm pot, ready to plant outside from the end of April. Please note: While your palm tree will be tolerant of dry conditions when fully established, in very hot, dry weather it will need to be watered every day along with the rest of your plants. This tropical, architectural beauty will add that holiday feel to your patio for years to come. With its spectacular fan-shaped foliage, the Phoenix palm provides dramatic impact to any garden. Despite its tropical origins, this exotic plant thrives in the UK and is winter hardy to -6C. It loves a sunny position in the garden and will be perfect in patio pots. Supplied as an established plant, approx. 1m tall in a 19cm pot, ready to plant. Note: the main image is of a mature plant, with the trunk formed by removing dead leaves. Please note: This product cannot be delivered to Northern Ireland. Care Information: Thrives in a sheltered site in full sun, with some shade at midday. Best grown on the patio in a large pot and brought under cover in the winter. When in growth, water moderately. Feed with a balanced fertiliser once a month at half strength. Water sparingly in winter. If the plant becomes pot bound, pot on into containers 2.5cm larger when new growth starts in spring, using a good quality compost. In years when re-potting is not carried out, topdress by removing 5cm of old compost from the top of the pot and replacing with fresh. Pruning will only be needed to remove old fronds. Do not remove those growing upright since this may slow the growth and reduce the palm vigor - remember that this palm has spines and sharp edges; use extreme caution when handling.
