Properties and uses:
The Pygmy Date Palm is a highly original dwarf Palm tree. Its very thin trunk is topped by a superb crown of palm leaves. It produces small, 1cm long, edible dates, which contain a small seed of approximately 5mm. The male and female flowers develop on different plants so you need to plant several specimens in the hope of getting a harvest.

The Pygmy Date Palm thrives outdoor in a moist to wet soil, or planted along the sides of water spots, in mild-winters areas. It tolerates light frost if it does not last over a long period of time. It can be protected with a winter fleece and by mulching its base as a preventative measure.

The Pygmy Date Palm thrives also indoors. In order to keep its good looks, it is important to provide it with enough humidity and to place it near a window so it gets sufficient amount of sunshine. The stress caused by a change of environment can lead to the loss of a few leaves. Therefore, avoid moving it about as much as possible.
