Phoenix sylvestris – Silver Date Palm, Indian Date, Sugar Date Palm or Wild Date Palm

Description

A large, fast growing, and very ornamental palm that has gained enormous popularity over the last 20 years, especially in hot, humid tropical and warm temperate area, to which it is perfectly adapted. Its tall trunk is much more slender than that of Phoenix canariensis, and its very full and dense crown has elegantly recurving, grayish, plumose leaves. It is as easy to grow as any Phoenix and will adapt to temperate as well as to tropical conditions. Our seeds come directly from India and are guaranteed to be true to name.
