The Wild Date Palm
Phoenix sylvestris
Though native to southern Pakistan and India, the Silver Date Palm or Wild Date Palm offers a look and feel not found with any other palm. Its widely spreading silvery-blue fronds provide generous shade without heavy leaf litter.
Known for its robust diamond-cut patterned trunk and resilient tolerance to cold snaps, the Sylvestris has surged in popularity among landscape architects and discerning homeowners throughout Florida.
