The Pygmy Date Palm
Phoenix roebelenii
The Phoenix roebelenii or Pygmy Date Palm is one of the most graceful and delicate-looking of all palm varieties, but is actually remarkably hardy, drought-tolerant, and long-lived when planted in proper conditions.
Growing slowly to a mature height of only 6 to 10 feet, the Pygmy Date Palm is ideal for intimate garden corners, poolside accents, multi-trunk centerpieces, and container planting. Its finely textured arching fronds create a soft, tropical silhouette.
