Robellini Palm is a dwarf palm tree that will reach heights of only 6 to 12 feet at maturity but, in spite of its diminutive size, will have a bushy crown of graceful 3-foot long palm leaves and a span of up to 10 feet across.
The bushy leaves usually hide the small clusters of flowers. The flowers are replaced by small dates that are initially black before turning a deep red hue.
The Robellini palm, also known as pygmy date palm or miniature date palm, is especially effective planted in small groups, or will do well in a container. Robellini palm isn't frost-tolerant, and will grow only in warm, humid environments.
