Grow Phoenix canariensis in a large pot on a sunny patio or in a sheltered, sunny border as part of a tropical planting scheme. Feed with a dilute fertiliser once every three months during the growing season, and remove brown fronds as and when you need to. Bring it undercover for winter or wrap the fronds around the crown to protect it from the harshest winter weather. Water regularly during the summer months and fertilise one every three months, from March to September, with a dilute organic fertiliser. Top-dress pot-grown palms with fresh compost annually, unless repotting into a slightly larger container. In colder regions in autumn, tie the fronds together in a bundle at the top of the tree, to protect its crown from winter frosts. New growth forms from the centre of the plant in summer. When the outer leaves turn brown, remove them from the base, using secateurs or loppers. Only prune leaves facing downwards, removal of any upward-facing leaves may result in checked growth of the tree.

You’ll have already guessed where this plant comes from.
This magnificent specimen is the national emblem of the Canary Islands, where you’ll find it growing to heights of around 40m.
Even in the wild it would take 60 years or more to reach full height.
This is more a plant to enjoy for its large sculptural leaves.
In the Canary Islands, those leaves are used to make all sorts of things, from baskets, to brooms, to hats.
This is an easy way to give a tropical feel to your outdoor space.
Give it a spot that gets a mix of sun and shade throughout the day and try to water it whenever the top two inches of soil feel dry.
The bigger you want your palm to grow, the bigger the pot you should plant it into, in the ground it will have free range!
There’s a reason the Canary Islands are so proud of this plant.
It’s an absolute beauty.

Phoenix canariensis, the 'Canary Island Date Palm', brings that look home.
It's an evergreen beauty that holds its structure throughout the seasons, even in winter, with long, feathery fronds that radiate out like a green crown.
This palm is one of the easiest ways to inject a tropical feel into any outdoor space.
Despite its exotic appearance, it’s incredibly hardy and surprisingly well suited to our UK climate, thriving outside through summer, before spending autumn to spring in the conservatory or a place with winter protection.
Place it on either side of an entrance for a stylish statement or pair it with gravel and lavender for a relaxed Mediterranean vibe.
It’s drought tolerant, thrives in sunshine, and doesn't need regular feeding or trimming.
Just water occasionally during dry spells and it will reward you with lush foliage all year long.
