Date palms are known for hybridizing as each palm is either male or female and must be pollinated by another date palm. Date Palms that form seeds are females and will always be females. Male Date Palms have flowers that bloom on what looks like a feather duster. Hybrids can then get pollinated and lead to some unusual results. This process of cross pollination makes it difficult to assure that any seeds collected are "true" to the variety.

Areca Palm / Dypsis lutescens

The Areca Palm / Golden Cane Palm

As one of the world's most popular indoor plants, the Golden Cane Palm or Areca Palm hardly needs an introduction. Outdoors, the Areca Palm quickly develops into an elegant, mid-sized palm with densely clestering, slender, green trunks; yellow crownshafts and leafstalks; and arching, V-shaped leaves. The Areca Palm makes a fantastic privacy hedge. If you are using the Areca Palm for privacy, make sure the plants you purchase are multiple plants per pot. Growers will plant a half dozen or more in one pot to make for a dense plant.

Dypsis lutescens originally comes from Madagascar, the home of so many exciting palms, where it grows in coastal forest on sandy soils. It will tolerate cool conditions to some extent, as well as light frosts, and is best suited to climates ranging from sub-tropical to tropical.

The Bismarck palm is well suited for sub-tropical and tropical regions. The palm is salt tolerant, drought tolerant, and frost tolerant (light to medium frost), and can survive temperatures down to the upper teens when mature (although I don't recommend this).

Commercial Landscape for Condominium Project

Brisa Del Mar in Apollo Beach, Florida

This is the completed photo for the Brisa Del Mar Project in Apollo Beach, Florida.
It turned out nice and is a major improvement.

Sylvester Palms / Phoenix sylvestris / Silver Date Palms

This the before picture. A Quality Plant removed virtually all the plants and palms 
and had to start from scratch.

The entrance before plants and palms were removed

A Quality Plant used the Sylvester Palms at the entrance for statement and Royal Palms for
height. The multi-stem Roebelenii Palm in front of the Guard House turned out to be the perfect palm
for the space.
