Florida Sabal Palms for sale / Cabbage Palms

A Quality Plant probably sells more Sabal Palms than all our other palms combined. They are indeed popular. Sabal palms are Cold Hardy Palms taking temperatures in the low teens. The are native to Florida, Georgia and even South Carolina. Sabal Palms are drought tolerant palms. They are salt tolerant and are slow growing. Most important to builders is that Sabal Palms are Cheap Palms!

Sabal Palms are harvested from ranches where they have been growing in the wild for 20-30+ years.

Florida Sabal Palms
Sabal Palms come booted or slick and the heads will be cut back so that transplant will have a high success rate. Sabal Palms with foliage left on them will be much more difficult to transplant and the mortality rate will be high. Regenerated Sabals are available. Regenerated Sabals have new foliage pushing out and are great when you need a mature look now.

Then came the fun stuff!

Royal Palms - Roystonea regia
Bismarck Palms - Bismarckia nobilis
Triangle Palms - Dypsis decaryi
Taraw Palms - Livistona saribus
Licuala spinosa Palms
Chinese Fan Palms - Livistona chinensis

Screw Pine - Pandanus utilis
Reclinata Palms - Phoenix reclinata
Phoenix Hybrid Palm - Canary x Roebelenii
and more....

20 plus mature palm trees can transform just about any yard!
Thanks Oliver for the opportunity to landscape your new home. I  am looking forward to adding in the small plants and mulch.

The customer got a great deal and I got to meet them in Miami. I brought a load of tropical plants back to Ruskin, Florida to stock the nursery with tropical plants.

Tampa Bay Landscaper - Landscaping Project

Here is a good example of a before and after with a recently completed landscape project in the Apollo Beach, Florida area. A Quality Plant met with the owner of the home and plans were made to replace the "Builder Special" landscape package with a more tropical look.The palms were transplanted to the back yard and all the other plants with the exception of the flax lilies and the mammy crotons were removed.
A Quality Plant installed 9 Flax Lilies to reinforce the look around the Royal Palm to the left of the driveway and one additional Mammy Croton. The Royal Palm added much needed height to this side of the house. Special care is required to transplant a Royal Palm with no damage to the sensitive Grey Wood.
The Fungus infested Podocarpus was replaced with a Dracenia marginata, the Crinum Lily was replaced with a European Fan Palm and the sickly Queen Palm was replaced with another Royal Palm.
The Pine Bark chips were removed and replaced with Cypress Mulch. Why not Red Mulch? No contrast with the Mammy Crotons. Cypress makes the Mammy Crotons "Pop".
Finally, A Quality Plant installed 6 Purple Lantana around the Live Oak at the street.

A Quality Plant a Florida Wholesale Tree Farm

Washingtonia Palms / Washington Palms
A Quality Plant shipped out a load of the cold hardy palms "Washingtonia robusta" commonly known as the Washingtonia or Washington Palm. The Washingtonia is named after ... You guessed it ... George Washington!

The Washingtonia is Cold Hardy, Salt Tolerant and Drought Tolerant. The palm can grow to heights in excess of 100 ft and is often removed from residential and commercial landscapes for this reason.

There are two different types of Washingtonia Palms:


The Washingtonia Palm is fast growing and affordable and makes a great addition to the landscape.

A Quality Plant Is a full service Landscaper. Services include free estimates and the installation of tropical plants, palm trees, trees, pavers and curbing. A Quality Plant is asked frequently to come up with a plan to improve existing landscaping. Below is an example of one such job located in Apollo Beach, Florida in the Harbor Isles subdivision.


(grey rock was cold and did not work well with the color of the house...the Magnolia was not doing well due to soil conditions, the grass was planted too close to the sidewalk and had to be over-trimmed to keep it off the walkway, the hibiscus tree was too close to the sidewalk and the house)


After discussing color preferences and identifying plants the customer preferred, A Quality Plant presented a plan to the customer. Here are the results.

A Quality Plant would love the opportunity to work with you next.
