The plant features an impressive crown composed of pinnate, dark green leaves measuring between 4 and 7 meters in length. The robust leaves grow from petioles equipped with sharp, spiny bases, and each side of the main leaf axis bears about 200 leaflets, giving the palm crown a uniquely full, lush, and compact appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth and Development Characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe Canary Island Date Palm grows relatively \u003cstrong\u003eslowly\u003c\/strong\u003e, especially in its early years, making it an ideal candidate for container cultivation. Under favorable conditions with adequate sunlight, the palm trunk can grow about \u003cstrong\u003e10-20 cm per year\u003c\/strong\u003e. As the plant matures, the growth rate may increase to around \u003cstrong\u003e30 cm per year\u003c\/strong\u003e. Despite the slow height increase, the palm compensates with vigorous crown development, producing a dozen or even more than \u003cstrong\u003e20 new leaves annually\u003c\/strong\u003e, contributing to a dense and spreading crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering and Fruiting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003ePhoenix canariensis\u003c\/strong\u003e is a dioecious plant, occurring as male and female individuals. Female inflorescences reach an impressive length of up to \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 meters\u003c\/strong\u003e and display a yellow-green color. From the female flowers develop characteristic fruits in the form of small dates measuring \u003cstrong\u003e2-3 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e. The fruits are initially green and turn yellow-orange when ripe. Although edible, the dates have a bitter taste and on the Canary Islands are mainly used as animal feed. Male inflorescences are much shorter, reaching \u003cstrong\u003e30-40 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, and are densely covered with white flowers that wither after blooming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin and Natural Habitat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eOn its native Canary Islands, \u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003ePhoenix canariensis\u003c\/strong\u003e shows remarkable adaptability, growing in diverse environments—from moist forested areas to dry, semi-desert regions. On the island of Gran Canaria, specimens over \u003cstrong\u003e200 years old\u003c\/strong\u003e can be found, reaching heights exceeding \u003cstrong\u003e20 meters\u003c\/strong\u003e. This environmental versatility translates into high tolerance for various cultivation conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivation Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe Canary Island Date Palm prefers \u003cstrong\u003efull sunlight\u003c\/strong\u003e and well-draining soils. The plant shows significant resistance to periodic droughts and can also survive short-term flooding, making it extremely useful in challenging growing conditions. In temperate climates, outdoor cultivation is possible but requires proper frost protection, especially when temperatures drop below \u003cstrong\u003e-5°C\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eContainer cultivation is a practical solution in cooler parts of Europe, especially for younger plants. In such cases, the palm should be moved indoors for winter to a space with temperatures between \u003cstrong\u003e2 and 10°C\u003c\/strong\u003e, as container walls do not provide sufficient root protection against freezing. In pots, the plant grows more slowly and may reach \u003cstrong\u003e3-4 meters in height\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it ideal for spacious interiors or conservatories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrnamental Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe Canary Island Date Palm is one of the most impressive palms worldwide, often used as a solitary plant in central garden locations. It pairs beautifully with other Mediterranean plants, creating an atmosphere of exoticism and elegance. Its resistance to various weather conditions and tolerance to both drought and seasonal flooding make it an ideal choice for planting in Mediterranean zones and countries with mild climates, including southern Europe, Australia, the USA, and the North African coast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mr.seed","offers":[{"title":"3","offer_id":52461555745096,"sku":"1150","price":5.2,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":52461555777864,"sku":"1151","price":9.9,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"50","offer_id":52461555810632,"sku":"1152","price":47.2,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"100","offer_id":52461555843400,"sku":"1153","price":87.2,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"500","offer_id":52461555876168,"sku":"1154","price":399.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000","offer_id":52461555908936,"sku":"1155","price":769.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/2649\/0440\/files\/818.jpg?v=1770321228","url":"https:\/\/www.mrseed.eu\/en\/products\/nasiona-daktylowca-kanaryjskiego-phoenix-canariensis","provider":"mr.seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
