Date Palms in the landscape including Medjools, Canary Island Date Palms and Sylvester Palms

The Major Date Palms can put an exclamation point on any landscape. Residential Landscapes and Commercial Landscapes both can benefit from the use of Date Palms. They are drought tolerant and the Date Palms are cold hardy palms. The growth rate of the Date Palms can be slow to moderate.

The True Date or Phoenix dactylifera is a majestic Palm with blue green fronds that extend out with little arch. The Medjool is a popular variety as an ornamental palm due to the appearance of the palm. There are other varieties including the Deglet nour and the Zahidi. All are slow growing and zone 8b palms. They are extremely drought tolerant palms.

The Phoenix canariensis or Canary Island Date Palm is the largest of the single trunk Date Palms. It is among the slowest growing too. It's slow growth rate and massive size and weight make it one of the most expensive palms you can buy. They are impressive though. There really is no substitute. With a spread of 25 feet plus it will dominate an area like no other single trunk palm.

The Phoenix sylvestris is a faster growing single trunk date palm that will give you a lot of bang for your buck. The fronds are greenish blue and have a bushier appearance than the other two major date palms. The Sylvester Palm is drought tolerant but will due equally well in a soil that is moist.

Canary Island Date Palm Sales and Installation / Grading a Pineapple Palm

A Quality Plant installs Canary Island Date Palms of all sizes. The price of the palm is determined by the quality of the tree. The quality of a Canary Island Date Palm is a factor of:

Color of the fronds
Fullness of the head
Caliper of the trunk
Condition of the trunk
Straightness of the trunk
Size of the Pineapple


A Florida Fancy Canary will have all of the above going for it. A Florida #1 will be a very nice palm but will be missing slightly in one or more of the determining factors. A Florida #2 will be substantially missing in one or more characteristics.

I prefer a Canary with good distinction between the smooth part of the trunk and the Pineapple.

Below are some examples of Canary Island Date Palms and how they can vary.

A Quality Plant specializes in large Specimen Palm Trees including the Canary Island Date Palm. These Palms require special care and expertise to properly remove, transport and re-plant. If you are thinking about purchasing a Canary Island Date Palm for your yard you will need to consider the space required for one of these massive palm trees. A mature Canary Island Date Palm can be over twenty five feet wide and can have a trunk with a circumference in excess of 100 inches. There are few palms that come close to awesome presence of a Canary Island Date Palm.

We can trim up the Pineapple on the Canary Island Date Palm or leave the ferns on the palm. Either way, the Canary Island Date Palm is impressive.

Canary Island Date Palm's have different grades.

#2.  Most palm trees have no value as a Florida #2. Although we rarely install a #2, they do have some value. A #2 would have imperfections like constrictions in the trunk or a head that has very few green fronds. Some Canary Island Date Palm's can have deep holes in the trunk or chainsaw gouges that are deep.

#1. A #1 Canary Island Date Palm has good color and average trunk caliper. A nice palm.

Florida Fancy. A Florida Fancy Canary Island Date Palm has everything going for it...Great color on the fronds, large caliper trunk and a very defined Pineapple once trimmed.

Specimen. A Specimen Canary Island Date Palm is extraordinary in every way.

Removal of Palm trees / Selling your Palm Tree

There are many decisions to be made once you decide to remove a palm or palm trees from your yard. A Quality Plant is asked to remove Palms frequently.

The reasons for removing a palm tree include:

The Palm Tree is dead

The Palm Tree was planted in an inappropriate spot (coconut palm over where you park your car, too close to the house, etc)

The Palm Tree has grown too tall and is out or proportion to the house or too costly to maintain

You don't like Palm Trees or don't like the type of palm tree you have

Removing the palm tree from your yard can be difficult and costly. There can be many unseen obstacles under the ground including utilities, pieces of concrete, septic systems, irrigation pipes and controller cables. There can be many obstacles above the ground like power lines, trees, fences, paver walkways and driveways.

A Quality Plant removed four Foxtail Palms from around an infinity pool in Apollo Beach, Florida that had outgrown the 4' planters they were in. The palms had begun to crack the cap around the pool. I had nightmares about this job. After digging the palms with a gas powered shovel and exerting 5500 lbs of force, the palms came out. We replanted the palms on the side of the house and the Foxtail Palms  became the focal points of a new outdoor sitting area.

Some palm trees have resell value. There are palms that we remove at no cost and there are palms we remove and actually pay the homeowner for their palm. The value is based on supply and demand and quality of the palm.  

A large palm removal will require up to 2 yards of dirt to fill the hole. A Quality Plant will commonly provide a replacement palm or tree and install the new plant at the time of the palm tree removal.

Medjool Date Palm, Phoenix dactylifera and Canary Island Date Palm

Two of the most majestic palms are the True Date Palm / Medjool Date Palm / Phoenix dactylifera and the Canary Island Date Palm / Phoenix canariensis. They can be planted in groups or as a stand alone specimen. In either case, they are magnificent.

Phoenix dactylifera

variety Medjool is widely used as an ornamental. Taller, thinner, and with spikier, bluish leaves than its popular cousin from the Canary Islands, the Medjool Date Palm is a handsome tree. The Medjool Date Palm's adaptability to a wide range of climates, excellent resistance to drought, salt spray, brackish water, and various pests, and its general robustness make it the palm of choice for dry climates, temperate as well as tropical. Phoenix dactylifera tolerates salt water intrusion and cold better than all the other Date Palms.

Phoenix canariensis, Pineapple Palm, or the Canary Island Date Palm is one of the most popular landscape palms. The stout form of the Canary Island Date Palm is a familiar sight in most warm temperate and subtropical countries of the world. The Canary Island Date Palm with it's stately appaearance spans nearly thirty feet on mature specimens.
