The Canary Island Date Palm Tree is easily adapted to grow in city landscapes and tolerates automobile fumes, poor soils and droughts. One hundred year old Canary Island Date Palm trees have survived temperature extremes at Wights Nursery, Cairo, Georgia. Epiphytic ferns grow luxuriantly in the leaf stubs of the Canary Island Date Palm Tree trunk, adding a fascinating point of interest as a green trunk covering, and the tree is salt water tolerant and grows well in ocean sites. The graceful leaves of the Canary Island Date Palm are a favorite specimen palm for growing and buying for landscape gardens, and the gigantic leaves will shade park recreational areas for cool picnicking in the summertime.
