Phoenix
canariensis, known as the Canary Island Date Palm, is a tall stately
palm that grows to 20 metres tall but is more commonly 10 metres in
cultivation. It is native to the Canary Islands.
Has a stout trunk 70-90 cm in diameter.
The leaves are pinnate up to 6 metres long, with 80-100 leaflets on each side of the central rachis.
The
fruit is an oval yellow to orange-brown drupe, 2 cm long and 1 cm in
diameter and containing a single large seed. The fruit pulp is edible
but too thin to be worth eating.
Full sun, well drained position. Very hardy, and frost, salt spray, and drought tolerant.
For sale is a packet of 10 seeds.
ALL SEED PACKAGES COME WITH A SET OF SEED PROPAGATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Combined Postage/Shipping:
If
you purchase multiple packets of seeds then they will be posted/shipped
in the cheapest envelope or parcel rate available. What you pay is what
Australia Post charges me, plus a small handling fee to cover packing
materials. Final postage total does depend on the seed varieties
purchased as some species have larger/heavier seeds than others so cost
more to post. I don't automatically charge extra for each purchase and
in many cases a number of packets of seeds can be posted/shipped for
just the one initial postage charge.
To
get combined postage just make each purchase on Ebay but don't press
the 'Pay Now' button after each purchase. Once you have finished buying,
then press the 'Pay Now' button and an option appears at the top that
says 'Request Total'. Press this one and I then get an email to tell me
to combine the items into one invoice for combined postage. I then send
you a final invoice for payment.
Payment Options:
Australian buyers: Paypal, Bank Deposit or Money Order.
International buyers: Paypal is the only payment method accepted.
