A short, slow growing palm species native to Mauritius in the Indian ocean. It is known for its bizarrely swollen ‘bottle shaped’ trunk. Grows well in sandy, well-drained soils and does exceptionally well when grown in a container.
Often confused with its closest relative, the Spindle Palm.
Native to the Philippines but very much naturalized throughout Florida & the West Indies. The Christmas palm is highly praised for its hardiness, low-maintenance and salt-tolerance.
It can thrive in a wide range of environments from indoors in a container to field grown in full sun. It is often grown in clusters of two or three palms.
One of the hardiest palms available and a true symbol of the tropics. Generally classified into two groups: ‘Talls’ & ‘Dwarfs’. We also grow a lot of hybrid ‘Maypan’ coconuts due to their disease resistance.
Under good growing conditions these palms can grow 2-3 feet per year reaching and overall height of 60-80ft for the tall varieties.This is some text inside of a div block.
A truly iconic palm native to the grasslands of Madagascar. The Silver Bismarck palm is known for its enormous silver-blue fan leaves that can grow to a width of 6ft. The tree can reach an overall height of over 50ft and under good growing conditions can grow 2-3 ft per annum.
A close relative of the Bottle Palm which is also from Mauritius; however, instead of having a swollen base, the Spindle has a swollen central trunk. Does well in the ground as well as in a container. Can be grown in slight shade but prefer plenty of sun, especially when grown in the ground.
