Either box or B and B.
HI!
What is B and B in the palm and tree world? It means BAG and BALL.
Okay, so what does that mean?
If there are very large trees, normally, in transplanting it is easier and safer if the trees are wrapped in plastic or burlap when they are dug. When we Bag them, the earth is damp and it preserves the moisture during transportation and planting. It is also actually easier to manoeuvre around planters or buildings to the hole.
Originally, the bag was a burlap type and burried to decompose. Now, we use plastic to protect the moisture and roots.
We have sent many B and B palms to South Carolina and it's easier on the other end to remove them from the trucks.
The big specimens in boxes, they have to be gigantic boxes. are expensive which translates into more cost for the customer. And, it is better for them to root a bit in the boxes for awhile. The problem with many boxed specimen is this; Craning them up can rip their roots sending the tree or palm into distress. Many boxed trees have established root systems through the bottom of the boxes.
Digging, wrapping and out is a better and more successful process in transplanting.

Hi!
We blog a lot about specimen palms however, maybe you don't really understand the term...
Above are only a few! A Specimen Palm is a palm or a groupings of palms that have grown together or in a special way or the heigh and caliber is rare.
For example, a 'hurricane' palm look is a specimen that was pushed down when young and has grown upwards since then. This method creates a curved trunk, which by the way, are wonderful accents around pools or an area where you want a palm but they have to grow away from a structure.
Another example is of a 'cluster' of palms that normally don't cluster naturally. We have these in Washingtonia Robustas, Queen Palms, King Palms, Date Palms and believe it or not, in Canary Island Date palms as well! They give the landscape a dramatic and full accent.
One more example of a specimen is the height! A giant Canary Island Date palm or Washingtonia Robusta to match existing palms or for a parking structure like the ones we put in Irvine Spectrum are specimen palms! Those Washingtonias were 45 feet tall!
I hope this has been helpful! It's so much fun having the variations to play with in your garden. Check us out! The specimens are incredible!
