Phoenix canariensis

Thats massive growth for ten yrs Gaz.

mines been in four and its slightly smaller than when I planted it:D

I'm still waiting for that massive explosion of growth:lollol:

 

Thanks for that info Gaz, I left Portsmouth for here 20 years ago and there obviously were none then.
OurCIDPs here have only been planted for 3 years but were the size of that one when planted.
Perhaps they will flower and fruit sometime. We also have Washys some planted, I think they are a different kettle of palms Butias are much slower but a safer bet in the long run.
