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!
