Product Details

The Dwarf Date Palm (Phoenix roebelenii, also known as Pygmy Date Palm) is a compact, fine-leaved tropical-looking palm that suits pots, balconies, or tropical-style gardens. Unlike full-sized date palms, this one stays small, slow-growing, and tidy. It’s not grown for edible fruit but offers a striking ornamental look with minimal mess. The feathery fronds arch gracefully, and it's safe for patios as the thorns are mostly absent on mature plants.

Features

Ideal prune height: 1.5–2.5 metres

pH range: 6.0–7.5

Sun preference: Full sun to part shade

Minimum pot size by year 5: 30 litres

Time to fruit: Not fruiting

Notable traits: Cold-tolerant to around -3°C, very drought-tough once established, great for tropical effect in small spaces

Grows best in well-drained soil with occasional feeding. In pots, add slow-release fertiliser and water deeply but rarely. Protect from frost in its first year. Can handle Perth summers if established in the ground or in a large enough pot.

A perfect choice if you want that tropical palm look without the height, weight, or maintenance of regular palms. Popular for subtropical landscaping, indoor atriums, and poolside spots.
