Phoenix Canariensis in the cultivation jar

Phoenix Canariensis
The Canary Dade Palm (Phoenix Canariensis) is a up to 18 m high, two -house palm with a stocky trunk with leaf latter and a dense crown with fifty to one hundred suspended leaves. The leaves are 5-6 m long, wide, short and overhanging. The partial leaves are green, sturdy, narrow-lancet-shaped and V-shaped folded. The lower partial leaves are often reduced and thorned. The middle part leaves are 40-50 cm long.
The palm can bloom from February to June. Young inflorescences are surrounded by a bract. The flowers are cream -colored to yellow. The male flowers are close to the axis of the male inflorescence. The female inflorescences are strongly branched and discolour during the flowering from light yellow to orange -red. The numerous fruits are close to branched bunches. They are elongated-egg-shaped, 1.5-2.3 cm long, little fleshy and ripens from orange to dark red-brown. Unlike the fruits of the real date palm (Phoenix Dactylifera), they are inedible.
The Canary Dating Palm is endemic in the Canary Islands. Palms in their natural habitat have become rare. The plant grows faster and is less susceptible to cold than the real date palm and is therefore often planted as a ornamental plant throughout the Mediterranean.
