Light: Full sun to light shade; acclimate young plants gradually to intense Phoenix sun.
Water: Moderate water in Phoenix; irrigate deeply and let the upper soil dry between waterings. Established palms tolerate drought but look best with regular summer irrigation.
Soil: Adaptable to sandy, loamy, or clay soils, including mildly alkaline soil; good drainage is preferred. Avoid persistently saturated planting sites.
Mature size: Typically 40–50 feet tall and 10–15 feet wide; may grow taller under favorable conditions.
Bloom: Mature palms bloom in late spring through summer.
Evergreen / deciduous: Evergreen.
Growth rate: Slow, especially when young; growth improves with adequate warmth, water, and nutrition.
