Pygmy Date Palm

Phoenix roebelenii

Stout and robust, this dwarf palm is widely used in drought tolerant landscapes where a sub-tropical look is desired.  The Phoenix roebelenii can be either multi-trunk or single, and creates a dramatic accent in the landscape.  The Pygmy Date Palm is used to flank an entry, create a background element, and can even be used in large pots.  It's a dwarf, but be sure to give it the appropriate space as it can reach up to 8 feet tall or higher.  Phoenix roebelenii looks most vibrant when given regular water but is drought tolerant.  USDA Zones 9-11.


Attributes: Drought Tolerant, Deer Resistant, Southwestern Garden
