Spiky and with a distinctly Mediterranean look, this adaptable palm from the Canary Islands can be used in the home, the conservatory, or planted out in full sun in the sheltered garden, where, when mature, it can withstand heavy frosts. Rich, loamy soil, together with plenty of water and feed especially during the summer months are all it requires. Makes a wonderful terrace plant, and its Mediterranean look can be enhanced if it is planted in a terracotta pot. When it gets bigger, plant it out in a sunny spot, and give it lots of room. Popular and easy, it is quite fast growing and will reach a good size in a number of years. Good 'beginner's' palm. MG
