Phoenix Palm Trees
 |
Massive in More Ways than One Large and in charge, the phoenix palm tree comes from the tropical Canary Island and is sure to be the center of attention wherever displayed. Commonly called Canary Island date palm, phoenix pronounced just like the Arizona city is the Greek name for date palm. Live phoenixes can grow to be nearly 15 feet tall. Silk renditions can also be found that large but are also available in smaller sizes such as between 3 and 5 feet or 6 and 8 feet. The larger palms are ideal where foliage is needed above head height, so you can walk underneath the palm fronds (branches). As a rule, plants look best when they are about 2 feet from the ceiling. If you have standard 8-foot ceilings, a 6-foot plant looks great. If you have 9-foot ceilings, we recommend a 7-foot plant. The exception is for cathedral ceilings; anything over 9-10 feet looks terrific, as the plant will be well over your head. A 15-foot palm in a 17-foot ceiling might look like it's hitting the ceiling! |
Let it Sway
Some manufacturers produce a bendable, curvable, trunk, so you can even make your phoenix look as though it is swaying in the breeze. A typical palm of this species will feature a brown, husk-like stem with light emerald green fronds. Some stems are made with realistic fiberglass to give them a natural-looking curve. The large trunk is often made of real wood or dark brown mesh and is covered with interesting designs that mark the point of attachment of the leaves. Whatever the case may be, if you want to make a dramatic statement, use this huge imposing palm wherever there is space to accommodate it. We recommend indoors.
