  • Hi everyone,
    Welcome to a new Timelapse video.
    This is a short video of the growth evolution of my 'Phoenix canariensis' in 11 years here in Belgium.
    Also known as 'Canary date palm'.
    Planted out at the beginning of 2009, so now (2020) already 11 years in open ground @ Belgium. (Zone 8b)
    Enjoy the video and the enormous growth of this beautiful Palm.
    Dutch 🇳🇱, German 🇩🇪, French 🇫🇷, Spanish 🇪🇦 and Italian 🇮🇹 subtitles are now also available for this video !😉👍

    Many greetings & fun from Belgium ! 😎

    Wow - you planted one of these in Belgium - outdoors - and kept it alive! Now that is talent. I planted my Phoenix Canariensis (in Florida, USA) from a seed sprout and the trunk reached 13 feet after growing for 27 years and the crown was beautiful... then it died of a virus carried by Palm Leaf Hoppers that a hurricane blew north from Mexico. :( The virus is killing that variety all over the state now. Hopefully it will not migrate there. You garden looks amazing.

      Thanks for the nice response Thea. It is my passion so I am willing to do something for it. Such palms are unique here in Belgium and that challenge is also the nice thing about it. Good winter protection is a must here, but you see what we get in return ...
      Sowing such a palm here and then reaching a trunk with a full crown of 4 meters at 27 years is something we can only dream of. Must have been great for you. Very sorry to hear that you lost it to that virus. I also hope that virus doesn't come here ...
      Hopefully you have a worthy replacement in the meantime.
      Many greetings from Belgium. :-)

      Is the virus fusarium wilt? In San Diego we now have the South American palm weevil and it is killing every single one and it is so sad. These palms covered Southern California and now they are disappearing so fast it is unbelievable. The weevil doesn't kill most other palms but can kill the Bismarck palm and a few other rare ornamentals but it is mainly the phoenix canariensis. We do have fusarium wilt here but it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

      ​​@@araucariasightings3247i moved from Holland to Spain 4yrs ago. Also here in spain we have the weevil. Its a red coloured one. Many phoenix canariensis are dying. I also see just a view Who where taken care of and now have a New crown and still recovering. Its a big plague here these days. I dindt know about the bismarckia nobelis. I have a small one 😅. Had 2 canariensis 1 died this summer because of the weevil😢

      I heard you have the red palm weevil over in Spain. It's strange how the canariensis are so susceptible versus other kinds of palms. It is pretty rare that a Bismarck gets killed but it happens on rare occasion so you probably don't have too much to worry about.@@ricardop9220

      So if I understand correctly, you never protect yours ? Do you have a photo or a link where I can view yours ? It probably won't be long before you too can walk underneath it.

    thank you Dimi for this video, it's enjoyable to watch. i came from a town that has to many oases and date palms. and i would like to share some traditional tips that i wish it can help when transplanting the date palms.
    - first make sure to tied up the leave before putting the planet in the ground as well as covering the leave on sides but not in top. the reason because to protect the head/heart of the tree from weather changes and the new soil. this technique is to allow it to produce new leaves n set it in the new home. the head of the tree is the major point instead of the roots when it comes to the date palm.
    -second, it's not prefer to add too much soil on the trunk when transplanting the date palm. the roots needs to get position on ground first. as what happened in the first two years its slow growing. adding soil like mountain on the tree trunk is only if you want faster growing with tiny trunk. its prefer to make a basin on the ground because they need water the most. as its showing it become having big trunk now but it needs to grow higher. this might be sounds strange for some but do not water it everyday. only one time a week, why? let the roots find its food this will make it grow fast. second method, put soil around the trunk on the ground for faster growing, why? date tree prefer to many sources.

      The reason we in colder and wetter climates put them on soil mounds is so that the palms are not sitting in water as it can get very wet at times which could cause root rot, but if its on a mound like this the water drains into the leveled ground or atleast the excess does.

      Salut Corinne, merci 😊
      La différence entre mâle et femelle réside dans la floraison. Vous pouvez le voir dans les fleurs. Les fleurs mâles sont plus jaunes et plus pleines. Les graines proviennent des fleurs femelles.
      Le diamètre de mon tronc est désormais de 1,5 mètres, le diamètre total des feuilles est désormais de 8 à 9 mètres. J'espère que cela vous aidera, si vous avez des questions, posez-les 👍😊
      Salutations Dimi

    • @Dimi.Exotic.Garden

      Thanks Bernard. The idea behind planting on a hill is that the roots are a bit drier during the winters. It also gives the advantage that you can walk under the leaves a little earlier. 😉

      If you do it well during the winters, so pack well and heat enough, it will work there too. Just make sure the palm is dry and sheltered during the winter and never gets below -5°C temperatures. If you are heating, you just have to keep the temperature in the protection around or just above freezing.

    • @Dimi.Exotic.Garden
      @Dimi.Exotic.Garden  Год назад

      At that time I was still inexperienced and I got the tip from experts to place the Phoenix on a hill. So that the roots stay drier during the winter. I had done that a bit too exaggerated and during watering a lot of soil washed away from the hill because it was too steep of course. I didn't want to disturb the palm again by digging back out, so I just made the mound much bigger in diameter. This way the slope became much less steep and the palm could just stand and continue to grow. You can also see this in the video at 1:13

      Good winter protection is very important. This Phoenix canariënsis can tolerate moderate frost in a dry state. -5 ° C to -6 ° C is approximately the limit.
      My Phoenix is packed every winter by building a box around it with polycarbonate plates of 32mm thick. (more layers inside)
      If it starts to freeze really well I close the box completely and if the temperature drops below -5 ° C, then I heat with a fan heater and keep the temperature in the protection around or just below freezing.

      That is not abnormal in the Netherlands. If you plant a palm here or in the Netherlands, it will slowly grow above the ground for the first 3 years. This is because it is mainly growing underground. The palm is settling for the first three years, then suddenly it goes much faster ...
      Our growing seasons are short and cool here, in the warm countries all that goes faster ...

      Il est préférable d'utiliser des engrais organiques, la plupart sont bons.
      Parfois, j'utilise aussi le «grain bleu» normal (pour les plantes vertes), ce qui est également bon, mais il s'agit d'un engrais synthétique, alors soyez prudent. Il a une action agressive rapide et courte, alors ne l'utilisez pas trop et trop souvent.
