Phoenix canariensis
Scientific name: Phoenix canariensis
Pronunciation: fee-niks can-air-ee-en-sis
Common name: Canary Island Date Palm
Family: Arecaceae
This large, stately palm
often reaches a size too massive for most residential landscapes but,
fortunately, it is very slow-growing and will take a considerable amount of
time to reach its 50 to 60-foot height The Canary Island Date Palm is most
impressive with its single, upright, thick trunk topped with a crown of 8 to
15-foot-long, stiff leaves with extremely sharp spines at their bases. The
stalks of inconspicuous flowers are replaced with clusters of
one-inch-diameter, orange-yellow, date-like, ornamental fruits which ripen
in early summer. The trunk can reach a diameter of four feet and is covered
with an attractive, diamond-shaped pattern from old leaf scars.

Phoenix dactylifera
Scientific name: Phoenix
dactylifera
Pronunciation: fee-niks dak-till-if-er-ah
Common name: True/Edible Date Palm
Family: Arecaceae
Although
there are many palms that we call "date palms";
pygmy date palm(Phoenix roebelenii), Senegal
date palm (Phoenix reclinata), Canary Island
date palm (Phoenix canariensis) to name a
few. However the "true" date palm from which the
fruit is obtained is the Phoenix dactylifera
which is a multi-stemmed palm from which the suckers
are usually removed to create single stemmed
specimens. The broad gray trunk is patterned with
diamond-shaped leaf scars and is up to 16 inches in
diameter. The large greenish or bluish gray pinnate
leaves are typically 18-20 ft long by 2 ft wide.
They are arranged in a thick canopy up to 40 feet
wide. Leaflets are 1-2 ft long and arranged in
V-shape ranks that run the length of the leaf stem.
Leaflets near the base are modified into sharp 3-4
in spines.
