Help: Phoenix Canariensis palm care
Hi to everybody.
I am a newbie, this is my first time in this group - sorry for my "rusty" english. I am looking for some help regarding my Phoenix Canariensis palm. It is about 10 years old and it has grown pretty tall. Every winter I have protected the trunk and the leaves with a kind of cotton cover like the one used for strawberries. Now it is hard to cover the leaves, cause it is so tall. Also I noticed that the leaves in the palm's centre get damaged in the points where I roped them together. In spring those leaves break in these points and I have to cut them down. My questions a Do I have to protect the leaves during winter too or just the trunk? How should I cut the leaves off to obtain shortly and densely leaves? How do I obtein the palm to grow high and how to grow large? Thank you for any help. |

Phoenix Canariensis palm care
Hi,
You don't say where the Phoenix canariensis is located but these plants can take 28 degrees F for short periods and frost with no problems. Maybe you don't even need the cover.
