Comments:	Lower maintenance and better suited to humid conditions than the desert date palms. If you must have a date palm, this is the one to choose. Stiffer, shorter, upright fronds make it a good palm for smaller spaces. Less prone to fungal pathogens. Readily hybridizes with other Phoenix palms. Make certain to get pure sylvestris palms for the best aspects of this species.
