Phoenix sylvestris seedlings with 1-2 leaves.

Commonly known as the sugar palm or Indian date palm, Phoenix sylvestris features a slender trunk that can grow up to 30 meters (98 feet) tall and has a diameter of about 30 to 60 centimeters (12 to 24 inches). The crown is topped with a dense cluster of feathery fronds that can reach lengths of 3 to 5 meters (10 to 16 feet), showcasing a bright green color with long, arching leaflets. The trunk is often marked by a unique pattern of horizontal scars from fallen fronds, giving it a distinctive look.

Native to the Indian subcontinent, the sugar palm thrives in a variety of habitats, including tropical and subtropical regions, often found in moist, well-drained soils. It is highly resistant to drought, making it suitable for arid landscapes. Phoenix sylvestris can resist temperatures as low as -6°C (21°F) and is resilient against strong winds, enhancing its adaptability to different climatic conditions. This palm is valued not only for its ornamental appeal but also for its sap, which is harvested to produce sugar and other products.
