The Sylvester has a heavy trunk and a dense, arching crown, so it looks established the day it goes in.

It is tougher in the cold than most palms we plant and does well in full sun and open soil.

Like all Phoenix palms, the frond bases have sharp spines. Place it away from walkways and play areas.

Good for

  • Large lots
  • Cold tolerance
  • Established look
