A Quality Plant supplies Palms and Plants to Hollywood for Movies - Wholesale Palms

A Quality Plant had the priveledge of providing palm trees to Hollywood movies on two different occassions. The first group of palm trees were for the movie "Battle: Los Angeles". The palms were very tall Washingtonia Palms with the foliage removed. The palm tree foliage was actually added later and was not real. The trunks of the palm trees were though!

That was pretty cool to be a part of. We are now providing palm trees and tropical plants to the upcoming movie starring..Johnny Depp!! The movie is a real life story about Whitey Bulger.

Johnny Depp as Whitey Bulger
Black Mass is an upcoming crime movie by Scott Cooper starring Johnny Depp as the infamous organized crime figure Whitey Bulger. The movie is based on the best selling novel by Dick Lehr and Gerald O'Neill about Bulger's true life story. The action/drama also stars Benedict Cumberpatch and Dakota Johnlson and is set to be released in October of 2015.

The palms are going to be donated to an indoor tropical garden after the movie shots with the palm trees and plants are complete. That is very cool too!

A Quality Plant did send Palm Trees to New York for a Broadway Play. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the play!

We can trim up the Pineapple on the Canary Island Date Palm or leave the ferns on the palm. Either way, the Canary Island Date Palm is impressive.

Canary Island Date Palm's have different grades.

#2.  Most palm trees have no value as a Florida #2. Although we rarely install a #2, they do have some value. A #2 would have imperfections like constrictions in the trunk or a head that has very few green fronds. Some Canary Island Date Palm's can have deep holes in the trunk or chainsaw gouges that are deep.

#1. A #1 Canary Island Date Palm has good color and average trunk caliper. A nice palm.

Florida Fancy. A Florida Fancy Canary Island Date Palm has everything going for it...Great color on the fronds, large caliper trunk and a very defined Pineapple once trimmed.

Specimen. A Specimen Canary Island Date Palm is extraordinary in every way.
