In a tropical climate, this palm can grow up to 18 meters high with leaves of 5 to 6 meters long.

Care
The Phoenix Canariensis prefers a sunny position (full sun is not a problem) and a very well-drained soil. Water every day during dry spring and/or hot, dry summers. Always ensure that the palm is in well-drained soil and that excess water can drain directly from the pot. It is recommended to fertilize the palm once a year with concentrated or liquid plant food. The Phoenix Canariensis is a strong rooter and can be planted in the ground or in a pot. With an ornamental pot, make sure that the plant is given sufficient space. The plant is moderately hardy and can withstand up to 5 degrees of frost.
