Phoenix reclinata aka Senegal Date Palm

Phoenix reclinata, commonly known as the wild date palm, Arabian date palm, or Senegal date palm, is a tropical species native to Africa, the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula, Madagascar and the Comoro Islands, but has been naturalized in several other places. These palms are adaptable to many different habitats, from sea level to 3000 m, and can be found in rainforest clearings, monsoonal forests and rocky mountainsides. This palm is highly ornamental and valued for its graceful, arcs of slender stems that are covered with brown fiber. Its edible dates and edible heart, which can be enjoyed as a vegetable, make it even more desirable. Wild Date Palms need regular watering, abundant sunlight and well draining soil to thrive and can generally be grown as a houseplant. Fertilizers are generally unnecessary as long as you repot your plant every time it doubles in size.
