Wholesale Palms Florida - A Quality Plant

Spring like weather again in Central Florida. I had to run the water on all the container palms. We soaked some 3 gallon Sylvester Palms that are being delivered on Monday.

We will be unloading a truckload of palms coming up from Homestead, Florida on Monday morning too. They are being delivered to our next landscape project in Apollo Beach, Florida / Mira Bay. We have three 18' Triple Foxtail Palms, one 18' Double Foxtail Palm that is a wishbone, four 30' Royal Palms and two 24' Bismarck Palms.

My forty foot trailer is loaded with the smaller palms and the tropical foliage including two Spindle Palms, Schefflera trinettes, Mammy Crotons, Variegated Ginger and Viburnum Awabuki. These too are going to unloaded and installed this week.

Rain is coming later this week. I think it will be short periods of showers as another cold front moves in.

Make sure and check out our Cold Hardy Palms and other Landscape Palms.

Florida Palms - Wholesale Palms - Retail Palms

Today our wholesale palm nursery was active with walk in customers. We sold some large Queen Palms - Syagrus romanzoffiana, and a triple Pygmy Date Palm - Phoenix roebelenii. The nice weather has many customers browsing our 80+ acre tree farm in Ruskin, Fl for different kinds of palms and tropical foliage or small plants. Many customers are interested in some of the cold hardy palms such as the Queen Palms - Syagrus romanzoffiana, Chinese Fan Palms - Livistona chinensis, Pindo Palms - Butia capitata, Windmill Palms - Trachycarpus fortunei, and Date Palms to name a few, in case we have another harsh winter such as last year, while some customers still purchase more tropical palms such as Christmas Palms - Adonidia merillii, Coconut Palms - Cocos nucifera, and Areca Palms - Dypsis lutescens, as additions to their Florida friendly landscape. Regardless of what they choose our customers find a wide array of landscaping choices here at our palm tree nursery.

Sylvester Palm Installation

A Quality Plant removed three Silver Date Palms / Sylvester Palms and replaced them with new ones. Two of the palms looked like they were planted too deep and the other shocked from having too much foliage left on during transplant. The Sylvester Palms we put in should be fine. We have thousands of Sylvester Palms at Wholesale Palm Prices.

We installed a small Roebelenii Palm / Pygmy Date Palm today too. The palm we were replacing had died from the cold.

Wholesale Palms Florida - A Quality Plant

What are the most popular palms for Central Florida Gardens? Cold is a major consideration and there are major differences between Brandon, Florida and St Petersburg, Florida. Brandon would fall into the Cold Hardiness Zone 9A while St Pete would be 9B or even Zone 10A near the water.

Cold Hardy Palms are those that can withstand freezing temperatures and a moderate frost with minimal damage.

For Zone 9A - Date Palms (Medjool Palms, Silver Date Palms or Sylvester, Canary Island Date Palm or Pineapple Palm and the Senegal Date Palm or Reclinata), Washingtonia Palms or Washington Palm, Pindo Palms or Jelly Palms, Queen Palms, Ribbon Palms, Chinese Fan Palms, European Fan Palms, Saw Palmetto Palms, and Sabal Palms.

For Zone 10A - Royal Palms, Dwarf Sugar Palms, Foxtail Palms, Roebelenii Palms or Pygmy Date Palms, Bismarck Palms and many others.

Cold Hardiness Zones are typically averages of the last fifteen years. Don't be fooled. It will only take one night below the threshold for your palms to be killed.

Protective measures can be taken to keep palms warm during a cold event. It is much easier to plant palms that are rated for your zone.
