Wholesale Palms Florida - A Quality Plant

When is a palm not a palm? There are many plants that carry a common name which includes the word palm in it. Among them are the:

Pony Tail Palm - Beaucarnea recurvata (often called the ponytail palm in English, even though it is not a true palm) is a species of Beaucarnea often grown as a houseplant in temperate latitudes. Successful cultivation requires winter minimum temperatures of above 10°C, rising to around 30°C in summer. The ponytail palm is native to the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, and San Luis Potosí in Mexico.


Sago Palm - This very symmetrical plant supports a crown of shiny, dark green leaves on a thick shaggy trunk that is typically about 20 cm (7.9 in) in diameter, sometimes wider. The trunk is very low to subterranean in young plants, but lengthens above ground with age. It can grow into very old specimens with 6–7 m (over 20 feet) of trunk; however, the plant is very slow-growing and requires about 50–100 years to achieve this height. Trunks can branch multiple times, thus producing multiple heads of leaves.


Travellers Palm - It has been given the name "traveller's palm" because the sheaths of the stems hold rainwater, which can be used as an emergency drinking supply.[1] The enormous paddle-shaped leaves are borne on long petioles, in a distinctive fan shape aligned in a single plane. The large white flowers are structurally similar to those of its relatives, the bird-of-paradise flowers Strelitzia reginae and Strelitzia nicolai, but less attractive. In tropical and subtropical regions, the plant is widely cultivated for its distinctive habit and foliage.

It rained all day today. We needed the rain. Cold will be coming behind the rain.

A Quality Plant has made sure to keep the tropical palm trees near the office where we can protect them in the event of a frost / freeze event. The palms needing protection include the Foxtail Palms, Christmas Palms, Arenga engleri or Dwarf Sugar Palms, Thatch Palms, Coconut Palms and the Pygmy Date Palms / Roebelenii Palms.

Ones that won't need protection from the frost are the Washingtonia Palms, Queen Palms, Canary Island Date Palms, Sylvester Palms, Medjool Palms, Pindo Palms, European Fan Palms and the Ribbon Palms.

We sold another load of Sabal Palms today too. Way to go Mary!

A Quality Plant was glad to see Mary back in the office today after a long battle with the flu. We watered all the container palms today. We trimmed the large Bismarck Palms. We trimmed the date palms in the front of the property too. The Sylvester Palms, Medjool Palms and the Canary Palms are looking good. We are installing Queen Palms, Pygmy Date Palms and Coontie Cycads tomorrow in Orlando. The Queen Palms are Grey Wood Queen Palms. There are four triple Pygmy Date Palms going too.
