Canary island Palm

5 seeds

To seed Canary Island Palm (Phoenix canariensis), choose a warm, sunny location with well-draining soil. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours to improve germination. Plant the seeds about 1/2 inch deep and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination can take several weeks, typically 3-6 weeks. This slow-growing, evergreen palm produces a tall trunk and a crown of feathery, arching fronds, making it an attractive addition to tropical or Mediterranean-style gardens. Canary Island Palm thrives in warm climates and well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil.
