Wholesale Palms Florida - A Quality Plant


Planting palms in the winter months



This came up twice today. Should you plant palm trees in the winter? Palm trees that are not cold hardy palms for your cold hardiness zone should probably not be planted at all. Palms that are rated for your zone can be planted at any time.

There are advantages and disadvantages to planting palms at different times of the year. When you plant a palm tree in the winter month that is cold hardy to your zone you will not be required to water the palm as vigorously. The days are short, the air is cool and many palms are dormant or have slowed down the growing process substantially.

Cold Hardy Palms to zone 9 include:
Sylvester Palms
Medjool Palms or True Date Palms
Queen Palms
European Fan Palms
Bismarck Palms
Washingtonia Palms or Washington Palms
Ribbon Palms
Chinese Fan Palms
Windmill Palms


You will need to watch the palm tree you plant in the winter time again in the early spring time. The Cold Hardy Palms may have had too little time to root in and thus gather enough water to survive. It is best to water these cold hardy palms daily during any period of extended drought.

A Quality Plant - Florida Wholesale Palms - Sylvester Palms

Sylvester Palm - Sulber Date Palm
December 1, 2010
We removed a dead Christmas Palm today and a Live Oak. We planted two Date Palms in their place. Sylvester Palms were Date Palms selected by A Quality Plant's customers. The first Sylvester Palm was 12' tall and the second Sylvester Palm had 4' of clear trunk.

Both Sylvester Palms received a finish cut and the thatch was removed with a razor knife. Sylvester Palms look really nice with a finish cut. These two were no exception.

The Sylvester Palm is a Cold Hardy Palm and is well suited for the climate in Zone 9. The Sylvester Palm is salt tolerant and drought tolerant too.



Check out our great prices on Sylvester Palms today!
