Phoenix tenuis, Canary Island Date Palm, pineapple palm
Endemic to the Canary Islands
-8°C (17°F), the leaves are damaged below -5°C (23°F).
Phoenix canariensis is a tall palm (15 to 20 m high), its exotic looks and fast growth have made it very popular.
It needs sun, a rich soil, and regular watering in summer. It can also be grown in a container for several years, if it is well watered.
Be careful when you buy one, those with long leaves have been grown too fast in a greenhouse; prefer palms with shorter leaves and a stout trunk.
Phoenix canariensis was introuced in France in 1864 by Viscount Vigier, a photographer and founding member of the French Photographic Society. The fruit is edible but has an unpleasant taste.
