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.

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!

Planting depth for Palms and Tropical Plants

Planting depth for Palm Trees

How deep should you plant your new palm tree? We are frequently asked this question and there is a simple answer. Palms should never be planted deeper than the surface of the dirt in the container they come from. Over planting a palm tree (planting the palm too deep) will suffocate the roots that are responsible for gathering nutrients from the soil. It is our practice at AQualityPlant.com to plant palm trees 1-3″ higher than grade.

Palms like the Bismarck Palm can lose their hold on the soil and become loose and floppy. The Bismarck Palm may require staking.

Palms that have a great percentage of their weight in the fronds and that have long fronds will often require staking no matter how large the rootball is. A good example of this is the Queen Palm. The trunk of the Queen Palm is even throughout the height of the trunk and heavy.  a Queen Palm is sensitive to over-planting and should never be planted deeper than the level of the soil of the existing root ball.Rob Pittman

Pindo Palms, Butia capitata, Jelly Palms

A Quality Plant delivered and installed two Pindo Palms yesterday. Both Pindo Palms received a specialty cut and had 4-5′ of trunk. The customer wanted the Pindo Palms for the fruit that they produce. The Pindo Palm is also called the Jelly Palm. The seeds can be eaten when ripe or used to make Jelly. Ripe seeds on the Pindo Palm are red/orange in color and about the size of a quarter. Pindo Palms are Cold Hardy Palms taking temperatures as low as 10 degrees with little or no damage. The Pindo Palm is slow growing, has feathery blueish green fronds that are recurvate.

We installed a Sylvester Palm / Phoenix sylvestris at the same location. The fruit of the Sylvester Palm can be eaten too. The fruit is not as large as that of the Phoenix dactylifera but can be tasty especially after a dry spring.

Another Palm that makes edible fruit is, of course, the Coconut Palm!
