Silver Date Palm, Phoenix Sylvestris, Wild Date Palm

The Silver Date Palm (Phoenix sylvestris), also known as the Wild Date Palm, is a stunning, ornamental palm tree native to India and belonging to the Arecaceae family. This majestic palm grows to a height of 13-16 meters with a spread of 5-7 meters, making it an excellent choice for landscapes, gardens, and large outdoor spaces. It features elegant pinnate leaves with soft, feather-like leaflets that give it a graceful appearance, while its blue-green foliage and textured trunk, marked by a unique diamond pattern from leaf scars, enhance its visual appeal. The Silver Date Palm is highly drought-tolerant and thrives in warm climates, with a high tolerance for sun, wind, and pests. It requires a high amount of water and prefers alkaline soil conditions. This palm produces edible fruits, but it is primarily grown for decorative purposes, often distinguished from the closely related Phoenix dactylifera, the commercially cultivated Date Palm. With a dense, rounded canopy and moderate growth rate, Phoenix sylvestris adds an exotic and tropical touch to any outdoor setting. Larger plants are available as bare-rooted specimens, requiring a crane for planting, with additional loading and offloading charges applicable. Prices exclude plantation services.
