Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Senegal Date Palm - Phoenix reclinata
Few palms command a landscape like Phoenix reclinata. Its multi-stemmed form builds into a sculptural mass of arching fronds and layered trunks, a specimen that reads as both tropical and architectural. Advanced stock delivers immediate presence that no single-trunk palm can replicate.
Why Senegal Date Palm
Multi-Stemmed Structure: Develops a dense, layered canopy of multiple trunks that creates genuine sculptural weight in a landscape.
Tropical Aesthetic: Long, feathery pinnate fronds deliver lush movement and texture at scale.
Drought and Heat Tolerance: Established specimens perform reliably in dry conditions with minimal intervention.
Coastal Resilience: Tolerates salt-laden wind and exposed coastal conditions without compromise to form.
Low Maintenance at Maturity: Once established, demands little beyond occasional frond removal.
Handle with care: The lower leaflets are modified into stiff, sharp spines at the frond base. Wear gloves and eye protection when trimming, and site it clear of paths, play areas and pool edges where people brush past.
Ideal Applications
Statement Feature Planting: Anchors large-scale residential or commercial landscapes as a standalone specimen.
Poolside and Resort Environments: The arching canopy and tropical character suit high-end aquatic and hospitality settings.
Entrance and Driveway Framing: Pairs with hardscape to create arrival sequences with immediate authority.
Water-Conscious Projects: A premium choice for drought-tolerant landscape designs that refuse to sacrifice visual impact.
Specimen & Installation
