A Quality Plant - Florida Wholesale Palms - Canary Island Date Palm

The Phoenix canariensis, more commonly known as the Canary Island Date Palm or Pineapple Palm, makes a bold statement with it's 25' span and thick trunk. The fronds of the Canary Island Date Palm are up to 12' long and dark green. The leaflets grow in a flat plane creating a feathery look to the frond.

The Canary Island Date Palm looks great by itself and looks spectacular in groups of three or more.

A Quality Plant is both a locator and grower of the Canary Island Date Palm. We offer delivery and installation too.

Other cold Hardy Palms we grow include the Pindo Palm, the Sylvester Palm, the Washingtonia Palm, the Queen Palm, the European Fan Palm and many more!

Pindo Palms, Butia capitata, Jelly Palms

A Quality Plant delivered and installed two Pindo Palms yesterday. Both Pindo Palms received a specialty cut and had 4-5' of trunk. The customer wanted the Pindo Palms for the fruit that they produce. The Pindo Palm is also called the Jelly Palm. The seeds can be eaten when ripe or used to make Jelly. Ripe seeds on the Pindo Palm are red/orange in color and about the size of a quarter. Pindo Palms are Cold Hardy Palms taking temperatures as low as 10 degrees with little or no damage. The Pindo Palm is slow growing, has feathery blueish green fronds that are recurvate.

We installed a Sylvester Palm / Phoenix sylvestris at the same location. The fruit of the Sylvester Palm can be eaten too. The fruit is not as large as that of the Phoenix dactylifera but can be tasty especially after a dry spring.

Another Palm that makes edible fruit is, of course, the Coconut Palm!
