Canary Island Date Palm

canary_palmCanary Island Date Palms (Phoenix canariensis) need full sun. They tolerate a variety of moist, well-drained soils.  Heights can reach 40-60 ft.

They are susceptible to a variety of diseases and insect damage including palm weevil, palm skeletonizer, scales, yellow spot, etc. but over all, are very hardy and typically are not impacted by damage as easily as some other varieties of palm.
