HOW TO CORRECTLY MEASURE A PALM TREE:

  1. BTH...BROWN TRUNK HEIGHT...This measurement is taken from ground base to to the base of the newest emerging spear.  BTH is the Nursery Standard Measurement and quite often the only term used when describing the size of a Palm. CTH: CLEAR TRUNK HEIGHT: This measurement is actually only the trunk height up to the pineapple of a canary or only the trunk height of the palm excluding any foliage. 
  2. OVERALL HEIGHT- This distance includes everything to the fronds top. Watch those electric lines if applicable!
  3. ROOTBALL DIAMETER: This is important when considering where the palm is going to be located/planted. If the location is a planter, make sure there is room for growth. A canary is robust in stature and needs room to show off. 
  4. ROOTBALL DEPTH: The depth is the dimension of how deep the hole must be to secure the tree plus drainage. When planting, clean washed sand is best and don't forget the air pipes. 
  5. TRUNK CALLIPER: The trunk calliper is the circumference of the trunk - the measure all the way around. Some palms are wider than others. It is important that this calliper is noted for the best look. Canary Island Date Palms come in a variety of trunk widths. Each are unique and are an amazing accent to any landscape, a true statement. 
  6. CANOPY DIAMETER: Canopy diameter is the width of the total frond top. This is important not only for the appearance of your palm, it is also crucial in its placement, having enough space for the full top and for the palm to grow.
