Palm Trees

There are more than 2,000 species of Palm Trees around the world and Nature Hills has chosen a few to market in the United States. Palms exhibit outstanding landscaping qualities and unique plant forms.

The market has recently developed some cold hardy Palms with planting zones that can extend much farther north, even into Zone 6! One of these Palms is the Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortunii), which makes growing a Palm Tree possible even if you do not live in a sub-tropical area!

Palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched trunk.

Palm Trees exhibit enormous diversity in physical characteristics and can be found in nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts.

Caring For Palm Trees

Depending on the species, some palms can live for more than a century. That means the palm you plant might outlive you.

Get your new Palms off on the right foot with these simple tips, planting advice in our #ProPlantTips, and with Nature Hills Root Booster!

• Ensure your Palm tree gets at least 6 hours of sunlight a day (full sun)
• These trees do best in well-drained soil
• Provide a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch over the root system
• Check out each Palm’s Description for pruning and other care requirements
• Water new plants regularly using the Finger Test to help them get established

Palm Tree care is quite easy as long as it is in good soil, kept moist, and receives good fertilization. Over-watering or under-watering can stress out the Palm Tree, just like any other plant! Newly planted Palm Trees should be kept moist at all times, and more mature Palms can be watered at more lengthy intervals.

How To Use Palm Trees In Your Garden

Very few plants emote an iconic tropical illusion like the Palm Tree. Even when placed in a pot in a cold climate, this plant communicates warm, sunny thoughts!

Palms can be grown as summer patio accents and container plants on porches, then brought into greenhouses or bright sunny windows for the winter. Then brought back outside for the summer months for use around your poolside plantings, and seating areas, giving your landscape an exotic flair!
