Date Palm: Phoenix roebelenii – 10 inch pot – 3-4 foot tall

The Pygmy Date Palm, Phoenix roebelenii, is a compact palm species native to Southeast Asia. It features a dense crown of delicate, arching fronds and typically reaches a height of 5 to 6 feet. Manageable in both size and ease of care, its perfect for someone who wants the classic “palm tree” aesthetic (just keep an eye out for the small thorns on the lower trunk).
