Sylvestra Palm   

(Phoenix sylvestris)

The silver date palm makes an excellent specimen palm and has proved itself to be a durable alternative to the Canary Island Date. The silver blue fronds make a nice accent to any landscape as either a specimen palm or used among a grouping.  It is a medium to tall, solitary-stemmed palm, it has a very large crown of pinnate fronds and fine leaflets with a silver-blue color.  It is robust and grows in temperate to tropical regions where it prefers full sun and well drained soil.
