- 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 !😉👍
Also check my other Timelapse video's... • My Timelapse videos
Many greetings & fun from Belgium ! 😎

You sir are an inspiration to people who really want to grow these kind of palm in different climates. You rock!
Thank you very much Eddie for those kind words. Pleased to hear. :-)
I'm going to try to make more videos of my other palms like this.
Wow your garden is so beautiful!
Thanks ! 😊
Wunderschöne Palme 👍🌴
Thanks 😊
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
It's all so bad to read about your problems everywhere with the red beetles & viruses...😔
Fortunately, we do not (yet) suffer from this here in Belgium due to our cold climate.
I feel for you guys...🤜
Such a beautiful palm tree. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks ! 😊
Wow, such a beautiful palm tree!
Thanks Edward ! 😊
Amazing how resilient these palms are. Your garden is lovely
Yes indeed, thank you very much. 🙏😊
@@Dimi.Exotic.Garden just planted my first phoenix today in the middle of my garden! Hope it grows as big as yours!
That's a good place Nathan. I hope so with you... 😊The most important thing is good protection in winter. So be sure to check out my other videos about my winter protection.👍
Super vidéo qui montre également l'évolution du jardin en 10 ans tout autour du Phoenix qui trône en son milieu !
Merci Philippe 😊👍
Absolutely gorgeous! My seeds just germinated here in Arizona!
Thank you Daniel 😊👍
And great that your seeds have just germinated. Always fun growing your own. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪
beautiful garden and tree! thank you for sharing 😍
Thank you for your compliments & response. 🙏😊

beautiful
Thank you, it's still a cool video indeed 😊
Within a few days a new video will be online of the winter protection of this Phoenix. 👍
Wow this is insane! What an amazing video! Keep it up bro!
Thanks Justin ! 😊
I’m 5 years behind you with mine. East coast Ireland. Obviously much milder winters here, but still a worry about the occasional week of hard frost we get every 10 years or so. You have done an amazing job. Hats off to you, simply stunning.
Thanks downburst1. My canariensis is one of my first palms and is doing great indeed. At the moment it is blooming for the fourth year in a row. It's a female ...
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.
:-)
Greetings from Belgium
Dimi Hi Dimi. I never protected it, but grew in a pot until early May this year when I planted it out in the garden proper. I have two eight year old Trachycarpus in the garden and will add to them, similar to you. You’ve inspired me to do a video right now. Here you go czcams.com/video/CROKilLGfzU/video.html
Nice that I inspired you@@downburst1. I saw your video. Handsome Trachy's, nice and thick. Your Phoenix stands good there. Will now grow even better once it is well rooted in the open ground. I really like the back part of the garden with the narrow corridors between the Bamboo.
Your garden is wonderful 😍🌴🌴🌴
Thanks ! :-)
Magnificent work 😮! ❤❤❤ 🍃 and dedication 😅
Thank you Victoria 🙏😊
super cool video, very beautiful garden
Thanks Helbert 😊
Superbe jardin, ce palmier est magnifique ! Bravo :)

fantastic. i just started a new garden where it was full of bins and old cars - got it cleared and i bought my 3rd phoenixia today for a few pennies in nearly dead shop . my first 2 are fantastic and doubled size in just 4 months - i recommend these if u have a sunny binyard i live in YORKSHIRE UK - theres one round corner with dates on it !
Sorry for my very late response... just now saw your comment and I didn't get a notification about this...🤷♂️
Thank you. 😊 Yes Phoenix are nice palms. They grow quickly and are very beautiful. Have fun with your palms too. 👍

Oh It,s really so beautifull and thank you i can see it :-)
Thanks Melinda 😊
I have one of these growing in my back yard in San Diego, CA.
I think they are the most beautiful palm trees.
You gotta look out for those spikes when trimming though. Vicious!
Yes Pat, verry beautyful palms and those spikes are dangerous indeed 😖
I have 15 Date Palms on my property and trim them easily with no issues wearing LEATHER welding gloves....
Majool Date trees are the best.
@@barryhunnel2420 Thanks, good tip from those welding gloves. And 15 Date palms....wow, that's really great.
Same, in Escondido!
Impressive!! Thanks for sharing. We plan on getting one of these for our home.
Thanks Sorit Chan ! 😊
Good luck and enjoy yours...👍
best you google first .. they grow to 65 foot by 40 foot

Merci Anthony 😊
Beautiful!! Just started one from seed in Germany here. Hoping to achieve what you got there in a couple decades. ;)
Thanks and good luck 👍😊
I started to grow A date palm. I germinated A date seed and I saw a root sprouting. Can't wait until it grows big in couple years!
Cool to hear.
Yes, if you let them grow from a small age, they will be the most beautiful.👍
That is also much more fun than just buying a large one.
It also goes much faster than you expect.
Have fun.😉
Lovely garden

Merci. Profitez-en. Cela va plus vite que vous ne le pensez. Les trois premières années, il pousse tranquillement car il doit s'installer dans le sol. Après ça va nettement plus vite. 👍😉
Great job men 👍🏼😍
Thanks Steffen. 😊
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.
Thanks for the tips Malek ! :-)
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.
Exactly like Mat C says 😊
@@matc4547 thanks to explain 👍😇
@@Dimi.Exotic.Garden no problem and amazing palm by the way.
It looks beautiful 😍
Thank you 🙏😊
very beautiful

What a beautiful Phoenix. I live 200 miles north west of you. I'd love to be able to grow a palm like yours. I have a tropical garden but no Canariensis. Well done. I'd like to know more about your winter protection.
Thanks Thomas !
Do you have pictures of your garden somewhere?

Hi, Thanks. No, no dates, the fruits don't fully grow here...🤷♂️
This is insane, what a big beautiful palm! What are those beautiful bananas at 2:03? Almost look like Ensete ventricosum but more purple. Please do a video of how you protect your palms! Great job!
Thanks man ! 😊
The purple/red bananas you see at 2:03 is 'Ensete ventricosum maurellii'. So it is the red version of de green ventricosum. Indeed very beautiful. 😍
For my protection in winter you can best take a look at my Facebook --> facebook.com/Exotisch.Hofke.Dimi/

Du hast recht, genieße deine. 👍
Geweldig dat dit je lukt zo noordelijk, mooi om te zien!
zou wel graag willen weten hoe je deze palm inpakt voor de winter? en wat je nog meer doet met strenge vorst?
Bedankt Gert Umans. 😊
De palm word ieder jaar ingepakt met een hok bestaande uit polycarbonaatplaten. Bij strenge vorst gaat dat hok dan volledig dicht en word het bij verwarmd met een warmteblazertje om de temperatuur rond het vriespunt te houden. Op mijn facebook vind je nog veel meer info & vele foto's

hi Dimi, what you did is amazing. you inspired me and starting today i have a phoenix in my garden. i'm in Bucharest Romania, winter is a little hard here, can you tell me what is the low temperature that he endure? thank you
Thanks ! Nice to read that I also inspire people. It's a challenge in cold countries like us, but that's the nice thing about this hobby. We therefore have something unique. :-)
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.
Unfortunately I can not post photos here so for photos you better can take a look at my facebook -> facebook.com/Exotisch.Hofke.Dimi/
There you will find several winter photos per year and everyone can see it, even without a Facebook account ...😊
Good luck lulian Cristian Soare and greetings from Belgium.
Lovely palm, I have three in the U.K. in pots I won’t risk them in the ground as we go down to minus seven or more in the the winter .
Thank you. 😊
Wow, three pieces you must have a lot of space. It is indeed a risk that you have to want to take and a conscious choice to always want to protect.
Same here, -7°C and lower is also common here. Hopefully another mild winter...🤞
Salut je kiff grave vôtre jardin et cest vraiment le style que je voulais faire mais avec quelques palmier dattier que jai semé sur le fond du jardin , bne continuation , on voyage chez vous sa donne la pêche et le soleil quant on vois celà
@Imran, Merci pour la réponse agréable. 😊👍
Bonjour,
Superbe réalisation et superbe passion.
Tu devrais aller vivre dans le sud de l’Europe, et reprendre tes palmiers par convoi exceptionnel là bas .
Cordialement.
Merci. Oui ce serait super en effet.👍
Mais déterrer tous mes palmiers et les soulever ensuite au-dessus de ma maison avec une grue sera un travail énorme et très coûteux aussi. Sans parler des dommages que subiront les palmiers du fait de l'excavation...🤷♂️🙈
cool😁🌴🌴🌴👍✌
Thanks 👍
Yeah, still cool to see...😊
@@Dimi.Exotic.Garden yes...i like this palm,maybe i will get one .... :)
@@heavencloserheaven3421 If you have the place and a good climate, don't hesitate. It is a beautiful palm that certainly gives you an exotic atmosphere 👍😊
@@Dimi.Exotic.Garden yeah...i think i have a spot ,i have 2 vashingtonia filifera ,and they wants a frend :) ....i live in Bulgaria ,near Plovdiv....the climate here is getting hotter ...global warming thing....i see that Phoenix palm may push up to -9 C. ,byt beter to have a protection here....furst couple of years....when they getting bigger -they are more frost resistant .... :)))))))))
@@heavencloserheaven3421Sounds good 😊
-9°C for Phoenix canariënsis is a bit exaggerated, the limit is approximately -6°C. But definitely something to do there in Bulgaria 👍
Good luck 😁
Hele mooie video! hoe heb je het gedaan met de hoeveelheid water en hoevaak? Heb je hem ook bemest? Keep up the good work!
Dank je Alain ! 😊
Tijdens warme/hete dagen moet die toch een flinke slok water krijgen. Ik heb een waterput dus dat is geen probleem. Ik geef dus regelmatig water tijdens warme perioden, ongeveer om de twee dagen. Een dag wel, een dag niet, enz...
Voeding af en toe een keer maar niet veel. Hangt ook af van wat ik op het moment in huis heb. Krijgt 2 a 3 keer per jaar eens voeding om een idee te geven. 😉👍
Very impressive, I think I will never put my 30 year old Phönix canariensis in the ground, I definitly have not the place for such a grow. Thanks for the documentation, maybe you can include the winter protection in following videos
Thanks Peter ! 😊
Yes, this palm need a lot of space indeed.
I was prepared for this as you can see in the video. 😇
For my winter protection you can take a look at my Facebook --> facebook.com/Exotisch.Hofke.Dimi/
But I am indeed thinking of making a video of the winter protections because I get this question more and more ... 👍😉
@@Dimi.Exotic.Garden I have a 30-year-old Phönix canariensis at home and it is already so big that it will make us at home. Do you think that it could be realized in the Czech Republic as well? I live in the south and there is a mild climate and relatively warm.
@@handmadeporhansl It does not need an extreme amount of heat to grow properly, so it should certainly work. A 20°C to 25°C is ideal.
The most important thing is how are the winters there with you? During the winter it is very important to keep it dry and sheltered by building a cage around it. When it starts to freeze you can close the cage completely and heat it like I do if necessary. The temperature should certainly not fall below -5 ° C.
Greetings from Belgium & good luck.
@@Dimi.Exotic.Garden Thank you for the information and answer. Winters are mild here, but I will definitely have to take anti-frost measures just like you. I would like to plant a palm tree this year. In which month would that be ideal? Now in the spring ever in May?
@@Dimi.Exotic.Garden Basically, I don't even know what kind of palm I have, it's probably lat. Phoenix dactylifera, because I grew it from the fruit of a woodpecker from a seed. Do you think that the same conditions are needed for this type of palm tree? I read somewhere that this species is the least demanding and grows practically everywhere, of course with sufficient protection in the winter months? I am not familiar with this, so I ask and I will be grateful for the answer. Greetings from the south of the Czech Republic.
So Awsome! Wish I coud do the same in Switzerland
Thanks Banana-Palm Guy 😊
You can, if you want to protect and heat off course...👍
Many CIDPs exist in Lugano
It's beautiful. :) How cold is it in Belgium in winter? Didn't Phoenix palm really get special protection?
Thanks Kira !😊 It can sometimes get -10°C or lower here. Good winter protection + extra heating is therefore a must. I build a box around it with polycarbonate sheets and I heat with a fan heater.
You can always view photos of it on my facebook. The link is in the description of the video. My Facebook is public so everyone can view everything, even without a facebook account. 😉
@@Dimi.Exotic.Garden Thank you!:))
Awesome palm!!! Great job! Could you tell me how do you overwinter this kind of palm? Do you use some polycarbonate frame and some extra heating? Thanks a lot for you answer!
Hi Ivan,

Magnifique jardin ❤ pouvez vous me dire quelles sont les différences entre mâle et femelle svp? Quel diamètre de stip à l'âge adulte , et quel espace conseilleriez vous pour installer un phoenix? Merci.
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
Muito lindaa..
Obrigado 😊
Amazing garden! How cold is it in the winter?
Thank You very much 🙏😊
I live in Zone 8b.
-5°C is common here and down to -10°C occasionally. It has also been below -10°C several times, even -18°C once, but those are really exceptions.
Just wow! Did you use any fertilizer?
Thanks Danny ! The Canary does get some organic fertilizer very occasionally indeed. But certainly not excessive.
Stunning Palm!!! Bought one of these about a month ago but I was wondering if you prune the palms branches or hire somebody to do it because of the thorns on the lower fronds. But the palm hasn't grown the trunk like you had in 2009 so it's still early days, kinda just want to be ahead and know what I'm doing :)
Hi, yes I prune it myself. It's not so difficult at all. Just use a strong pruning shears with long handles. 😉👍
@@Dimi.Exotic.Garden Thank you :)
Purchase HEAVY duty welding gloves and you will love trimming your Date palms.... I have 15 on my property and trim them with ease...

I love all the Phoenix and i have some Phoenix dactylifera.
Can you produce bananas there?
Sorry for my english...
Greetings from Brazil!

We can't produce bananas here, summer is to short I gues 🤷♂️
Greetings from Belgium
nice done, i have one and its now 3 years and it still the same size ( in the netherlands)
Thanks Michael ! 😊
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 ...
Hi Michael, just this spring I have planted Phoenix Canarianses in Netherlands - any tips from your three years experience on watering, food, winter care? Please help.
@@eganesan1 much water on hot days. In winter dry and hold it above -5°C 👍
respect man! mijn dadelpit is nu een weekje ontkiemd, die krijgt een plekje naast bij mijn citroenen, mango en andere zuiderse planten :)

Nice video my new friend.
Thanks 😊
Most welcome
Stay connect.🤝🤝🛎😊
Very nice ! What is your plant hardiness zone ?
Thanks Billy 😊
My plant hardiness zone is 8b.
Every palm picture taken and posted should have a person (like 3:35), and ideally the same person, standing beside the palm. Why? For scale! Otherwise it's very hard to get a sense of the palm's size and its growth from picture to picture. Unless we compare very early pics with end pics, the growth of the palm is difficult to gauge. Make it easy. In the future have Mom or yourself standing next to the palms.
tried to grow these in old house but too cold over winter, moved to essex coast hoping for more success this time , like to see update of your one now jan 2022
Hi John, thanks for your response. I hope you have more success now. 👍Currently mine is back packed in its box. So you won't see much if I take a photo.... but in my last video of 2021 are recent photos.😊

Thx Nesli 😊
hallo . Mega ,sehr schön ,Frage ? hast du die vertrockneten Äste abgeschnitten ?
hatte meine kleine ( ca 180 cm) über den Winter im Keller !
lg Wolf
Wenn die Blätter vertrocknet sind, können Sie sie durchaus beschneiden.
Du sagst den ganzen Winter im Keller, ich hoffe, dass sie dort auch Licht und etwas Wasser haben? Da das auch notwendig ist, sollten sie nie ganz dunkel sein.
Und wenn Sie sie wieder nach draußen bringen, müssen Sie sie zunächst wieder an die Sonne gewöhnen. Stellen Sie sie daher in den ersten Wochen in den Schatten und nicht in die Sonne, da sie sonst verbrennen.
Hello Dimi, an interesting report about planting your phoenix palm. I will plant mine out in April. Why did you put the palm tree so high? Many greetings Bernhard
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. 😉
@@Dimi.Exotic.Garden Thanks for answering. Reason enough 😂
Im in the uk, but a north facing garden. Mine grows SO slow! Hahahah. Its a nice short full plant however
Hi Bob, they do need a little heat to grow well. But once they get some size it will go smoother. 😉 Still enjoy yours.
Greetings from Belgium 👍
How do you protect it from the cold and what will you do when it gets too big to cover? I want to do this some day, but I'm mostly worried about how big it will get
Hi Evaldas S, 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.
Unfortunately I can not post photos here so for photos you better can take a look at my facebook -> facebook.com/Exotisch.Hofke.Dimi/
There you will find several winter photos per year ...😊
I don't really know yet what I'm going to do if it gets too big.🤔 I'll check that when the time comes. 🤷♂️ But I think it will take many more years, the trunk will not go up that quickly here in Belgium. So I can continue for many years ...👍
Who makes a hill then plants something on it? You’re supposed to plant ground level and make a donut around it so the water stay inside and doesn’t drain off like it would on a hill.
I live in Belgium, our winters are very wet here.
The idea is just to keep the high groundwater and many rain away from the roots in winter. Many exotics simply rot here due to the moisture & cold.
This was also recommended to me in my first hobby years by experienced enthusiasts here. Of course I followed that.
Now, after 15 years of experience, I know that it is not absolutely necessary for a Phoenix canariënsis, but it's better...
it's barely gotten taller, the trunk has just enlargened, but it looks so nice though :0
Thanks mApLe. Belgium is not (sub)tropical, so growth is slower idd. ;-)
And how is it today?
Nice video👍👍
Thanks man 😊 Currently it is back packed in its box. So you won't see much if I take a photo.... but in my last video of 2021 are recent photos. You can also check my Facebook👍

Hey man, heb je wat tips om er voor te zorgen dat de bladeren niet bruin worden? De mijne staat binnen op een zonnige plek. Heb hem mooi vol gekocht en nu wordt hij kaal geplukt zeg maar
Hoi, ben je zeker dat het een Phoenix canariënsis is ? En hij staat binnen zeg je, dit is niet echt een palm voor binnen. Hij heeft graag veel water, veel wortelruimte, dus heel grote pot of volle grond. En ook hoge luchtvochtigheid & veel licht. Hij is natuurlijk niet winterhard dus als je deze in volle grond wil dan moet je deze wel steeds goed beschermen en bij verwarmen in de winter... Daarover heb ik ook nog een goede video 'Winterprotection' gemaakt met veel info en foto's....
