Collection: Palm Trees

Palm trees have a presence all their own and are the perfect plants for poolside areas or in any tropical-themed garden.

There are about 2600 species of palm trees, most of them living in tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate climates.

Royal palms (Roystonea spp.) are one of the most majestic species, reaching 70 feet in height. They are known for their tidy leaf arrangement and the beautiful, smooth green section of their trunk that occupies the space immediately below the canopy.

Date palms bring a sense of stateliness to any setting. This is the palm that bears delicious, sweet dates.

Why are they called palm trees?

The tree so called from the shape of its leaves, like fingers of a hand.

There are many different Palms, and one might be surprised to find the name incorrectly applied is not the word Palm, but the following tree, since Palms are not really trees, but giant grasses, much like bamboo, corn, and sugar cane.

The name palm is applied to many different species of this plant, including date palms, royal palms, windmill palms, and more, not just coconut palms (the one that grows.

In the past palms were symbols of victory, peace, and fertility. Today palms are a popular symbol for the tropics and for vacations.
