Phoenix canariensis is a species in the palm family, Arecaceae, native to the Canary Islands. It is a relative of Phoenix dactylifera, the true date palm. It is a large solitary palm, 10-20(-40) m tall. The leaves are pinnate, 4-6 m long, with 80-100 leaflets on each side of the central rachis. The fruit is an oval, yellow to orange drupe 2 cm long and 1 cm diameter and containing a single large seed; the fruit pulp is edible but too thin to be worth eating.
The most used common name in English is "Canary Island Date Palm". The common name in Spanish speaking countries and in the Canary Islands is "Palmera Canaria".
