Phoenix reclinata – pb6.5 (30/40)

Also known as the Senegal Date Palm. Phoenix reclinata can reach up to 12m but is most often between 4m and 6m. It may be either single or multi-stemmed, sometimes forming a dense, bushy clump. The fronds are arching and form crowns at the top of the stems. The old fronds remain on the palm and become ‘petticoats’ as they hang straight down beneath the crown. Tolerates heavy frost and they are suitable for growing in coastal locations.
