Canary Island Date Palm

Pricing follows a ₱2,000/ft trunk formula. Tree-only retail ranges from ₱18,000 for 5 ft trunk specimens to ₱48,000 for 12 ft trunk specimens (the practical sourcing ceiling). Volume discounts apply at 5+ palms (5%), 11-25 (8-10%), and 26+ (project pricing). Delivery and crane installation quoted separately.

12 ft is the practical sourcing and transport ceiling for Phoenix canariensis in the Philippines. Larger specimens (15+ ft trunk) are rare in Philippine commercial supply, require oversized-load permits and escorted transport, and the survival risk on transplanting larger Phoenix specimens is significant. For projects requiring more vertical impact, consider Royal Palm (up to 14 ft trunk) instead.

The pineapple-shaped trunk base from old leaf scars is the species' defining feature. No other commonly-available palm produces this character. Combined with the thick robust trunk, dense crown of stiff arching fronds, and weighty mature form, the species reads as deliberate luxury investment. Each specimen is genuinely unique because crown density and pineapple base form differ specimen to specimen.

Phoenix canariensis (Canary Island Date Palm) has thicker trunk, denser crown, and pineapple-shaped base compared to Phoenix dactylifera (commercial Date Palm). Phoenix canariensis is grown for ornament; the small fruit is not commercially harvested. Phoenix dactylifera is grown for fruit production with sparser crown and smoother trunk. Both species are salt and drought tolerant, but Canary Island Date Palm is the architectural specifier choice.

Yes for 7+ ft trunk specimens. We photograph available palms with full dimensions, age estimates, character notes, and condition assessment. Catalog sent for selection. You reserve with deposit. Most premium-tier clients prefer to view shortlisted specimens at the partner yard before final selection. For 5 ft trunk production-grade orders, we ship from current inventory matching size and quality criteria.

Direct from 4-6 specialist palm growers in Bulacan, Cavite, and Laguna. Younger specimens come from production palm farms cultivating Phoenix for 10-15 years. Older 10-12 ft specimens come from older nursery stock with documented growing conditions. We avoid unprepared field stock. Phoenix canariensis transplant survival depends on root ball preparation.

Specimens up to 7 ft trunk transport on flatbed trucks. 10-12 ft specimens require crane truck loading at origin, careful crown wrapping for road clearance, and crane truck delivery with crane placement on site. We coordinate the full logistics chain. Lead time for 10-12 ft specimens runs 4-8 weeks for sourcing, photographing, transport coordination, and placement.

Tolerates Philippine lowland tropical climate well. Best performance in well-drained sites with full sun. Tolerates coastal salt exposure, wind, and drought once established. Less suitable for waterlogged or extremely humid sites. Avoid planting in low-elevation flood-prone areas. Surprisingly cold-tolerant for a palm: handles brief 5-10°C without damage, making it suitable for Tagaytay highlands.

Yes. Phoenix canariensis is pool-safe with relatively clean leaf drop habit and salt tolerance. Plant 5-7 m from pool edge to accommodate the wide crown spread (mature crowns can span 5+ m). The dramatic pineapple-base form pairs well with modern pool architecture, traditional Mediterranean styling, and tropical-formal landscape compositions.

Annual fertilization with palm-specific formula in early dry season. Periodic frond trimming to remove dead lower fronds. The pineapple base looks best when accumulated dead fronds are trimmed cleanly. Watch for Fusarium wilt: avoid pruning during high-risk seasons and sterilize pruning tools between palms. Annual arborist inspection recommended for premium specimens.

Standard lead time is 2-4 weeks for 5-7 ft trunk specimens. 10-12 ft trunk orders require 4-8 weeks for selection, photographing, reservation, transport coordination, and crane scheduling. For projects requiring multiple matched specimens, lead time extends with form-matching across the batch.

If a properly-installed palm (planted by us or per our written planting protocol) fails within 30 days due to nursery-side issues. Root ball damage, undisclosed disease, or transport stress. We provide a free replacement. Failures from improper post-planting care, Fusarium contamination from third-party tools, or weather events are not covered. Standard for all B2B orders.
