Date Palm : Roebelenii

A small, finely textured Palm with graceful arching fronds. An excellent container plant and houseplant. Won't tolerate dark locations.

These large, slow-growing palms have erect trunks topped with an umbrella of arching, feather-shaped, coarse, leathery leaves. Trunks become patterned with the bases of old leafstalks. Clusters of summer flowers are followed by sometimes edible fruits among green or gray-green leaves. Like plenty of moisture, but tolerate some drought once established.
