Plant ID: Canary Island Date Palm (Phoenix canariensis) Plant ID: Canary Island Date Palm (Phoenix canariensis) Genus: Phoenix Species: canariensis Family: ARECACEAE Common name: Canary Island Date Palm Plant type: Evergreen palm Origin: Canary Islands Habit/Form: This has become my favourite plant, and I happen to work with it a lot in the field. It is a powerhouse palm on many levels, maintaining the essence of its toughness as a small potted plant or as a towering soft wooded perennial. It can be very neat and tidy and symmetrical or it can be a sloppy shrubby explosion. It can thrash a space for itself in crowded flora or stand alone gracefully. As with most palms, it thrives in tropical to warm temperate regions, but has shown good tolerance to some frost or colder seasons. Phoenix canariensis scoffs at pollution and handles all kinds of neglect. Generally has a slow growth but once it stakes its claim it's pretty much there for good, lol. Can live over 100 years. The tallest you'll see them peaking is around 30-40m. Develops a dense clustered crown. The trunk/bark ranges from short stout, to tall thick, straight cylindrical, dark brown, ashy brown-grey, some with light brown hue in them, with very noticeable diamond pattern scars from old fronds no longer there, widening at the base. Older trunks will have a more even flattening of the scars, and the area (top) close to the current new growth will have jagged texture or the base remains of fronds recently pruned or lost/died naturally. It is not uncommon for a fairly ...

Plant ID: Cabbage Palm (Livistona australis) Plant ID: Cabbage Palm (Livistona australis) Genus: Livistona Species: australis Family: ARECACEAE Common name: Cabbage Palm, Fan Palm Plant type: Evergreen Origin: East coast of Australia Habit/Form: Australia's version of the fan palm types, a soft-wooded perennial. It can be quite difficult to distinguish between mature palms with fan-leaf kind of fronds. L. australis, W. filifera, and W. robusta are the popular fan-type palms. Out of the three palms I just mentioned, the Cabbage Palm tends to be one of the taller reaching 30m or more, grows a bit faster, has a longer petiole up to 3m. Young growth has downward pointing narrow spines on the lower half of the petiole while diminishing/fading spines toward the tip. Petiole becomes smoother/losing most spines when older, does not really have the thready/fibre/filaments hanging from the leaves, and its fruit is the largest of the three. Tends to have the most leaf split and hang, starting at the outer two-thirds of the leaf. Be careful not to mistake this leaf tip drooping as the same thready fibre from the leaves of W. filifera and W. robusta. Trunk is grey/brownish-grey, slightly swollen at the base, around 0.5m diameter (generally not as skinny as W. Robusta but not as thick as W. filifera). L. australis and W. Robusta can have very similar size trunks. Has indistinct ring scars and the youngest parts of the trunk tend to retain fibrous leaf bases. Has the notable skirt/petticoat of dead fronds at the base of the crown ...
