Factors to consider when choosing a palm tree With so many different types of palm trees, it is easy to be lost for choice. But do not be disheartened, below are a few tips to help you pick a palm tree or trees that best suit your needs, climate, and landscape. Purpose It is important that you decide on the purpose of your palm trees before purchase. Do you want shade at the swimming pool area? Perhaps you want the palm to be a focal point in the front yard? It could be that you want to use the palm trees as fencing? Determining the purpose can help you narrow down a choice. Climate As mentioned before, most palm trees can grow in the tropics and subtropics. So for those who live in Florida and other states with favorable climates, this would not be a big issue. However, there are palms that can tolerate the cold down to -20F. Before you make a selection, understand your climate and the kind of palms that would suit it best. Appearance Now, this factor is in close connection with the purpose of a palm tree. There are single trunk and multi-truck palms. Single trunk palm trees are great for planting along a driveway or for focal point. On the other hand, multi-trunk palm trees are perfect for fencing. Leaf formation Because different palm trees have different leaf formation. Each palm tree will have a distinct aesthetic effect on a landscape or property. Leaf formation can be pinnate (feather-shaped) or palmate (fan-shaped). The Bismarck palm - which is very popular in Florida - has fan-shaped leaves. It is great for focal point and is known to give landscapes a dramatic effect. The perfect example of a feather-shaped palm is the Queen's palm. It is desired for its elegance and is inexpensive and low maintenance.
