Bring a tropical oasis to your landscape with the stunning Phoenix roebelenii, a small yet mighty palm species. This evergreen palm is single trunked but often grows in clusters of two to four palms, creating a unique and eye-catching feature in any yard. The trunk, characterized by nub-like leaf scars, grows in a curved or crooked pattern, adding even more visual interest. The fronds are odd pinnately compound, reaching three to four feet in length, with pinnae that are one-fourth to three-eighths of an inch wide and eight to 12 inches long.
Inconspicuous white flowers give way to round, fleshy fruits that are an inch to a half inch in diameter, black to red in color. Native to China and Laos, Phoenix Roebelenii is cultivated worldwide as a landscape ornamental, adding a touch of exotic flair to any space.
