What Is The Meaning of Phoenix Branch?

March 8th, 2004 | By: Jamie Jamison Adams

Nicole Asks:

Do you know if there is a meaning for the Phoenix Branch?

Brock's Reply: I'm not familiar with a "Phoenix Branch".  There is a group of palms, the Date Palms,  which belong to the genus Phoenix. For example, Phoenix roebelenii , the Pymgy Date Palm, is often grown as a landscape specimen in warm climates (the correspondent is in Florida).  Phoenix dactylifera is the commercial Date Palm, native to North Africa.While I can find no specific reference to a meaning for Phoenix palms, palm fronds in general have traditionally symbolized victory and success. This idea stems from the story of the mythological bird, the Phoenix, which rose again from the ashes of its own firey destruction.
