Palm Pygmy date
The Pygmy Date Palm is a charming miniature palm, perfect for adding a touch of the tropics to patios and landscapes. It grows slowly to about 10 feet tall and wide, featuring a compact form with foliage concentrated at the top. This plant is admired for its ornamental yellow drupes that mature to dark brown in fall, and its attractive bluish-green foliage provides year-round color. Yellow flowers appear in mid-summer. It thrives in full sun to partial shade with moderate water needs, requiring occasional maintenance to maintain its shape.
