Sylvester Palm

$0.00

The Sylvester Palm, also known as the Indian Date Palm or Silver Date Palm, is a medium-sized palm native to India and Pakistan. It is closely related to the Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera), and it shares many similar features, though it is typically more cold-hardy and smaller in stature. Known for its elegant, feathery fronds and silvery-blue leaves, the Sylvester Palm is a popular choice for both landscaping and container planting.

Growth Habit: Upright, arching, 40 ft high by 8-15 ft

Hardiness Zone: 8-11

Environmental Needs: Full Sun, Water your Palm 2-3 times per week for the first month, then once a week for the remainder of the first year after planting. Keep the soil moist but well-drained, watering more in times of drought and less when there is rainfall.

Growth Rate: Slow

Maintenance: Prune any fronds as they turn yellow or brown. This improves the look of your plant and creates clean space for healthier green fronds to grow. Be careful of the sharp spines and leaf tips when pruning your palm.
