×Butyagrus nabonnandii
Light: Full sun to light shade; acclimate nursery-grown palms to Phoenix sun to reduce leaf scorch.
Water: Moderate water needs; not a low-water desert palm. Water newly planted specimens regularly while roots establish. Once established, irrigate deeply and let the upper few inches of soil dry between waterings; increase frequency during extreme summer heat and reduce in winter.
Soil: Well-drained sandy or loamy soil. Tolerates some alkalinity, but Phoenix soils may cause nutrient deficiencies. Avoid poorly drained sites and plant with the root ball at its original depth.
Mature size: Typically 25–35 feet tall and 15–20 feet wide; some specimens grow taller under favorable conditions.
Bloom: Mature palms may bloom in late spring or summer; flowering varies, and viable seed is generally not produced.
Evergreen / deciduous: Evergreen.
Growth rate: Moderate to fast with adequate warmth, water, and nutrition; slower during establishment or under drought stress.
