Hi!

I just had a customer ask what the difference between a palm tree's height of BTH (Brown Trunk Height) and CTH (Clear Trunk Height).
So, I thought this would be a wonderful opportunity to re-blog the measuring system for a Palm.


          7. The CTH... Clear Trunk Height... This measurement is just the trunk height only... to the top of the pineapple in this picture above. 

No matter how you measure a palm, they are perfect trees that won't harm your plumbing or pull up your special pavers!
Come down today or tomorrow! Let's get that landscaping finished!

See you soon.

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.

HOW MUCH DOES A PALM TREE COST? ASK Gregory Palm Farms (714) 814-8525. WHAT SIZE ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? OPEN NOW

 Hi!

How much does a palm tree cost?   WHICH ONE? WE HAVE SO MANY VARIETIES!

The palm trees have different values and that is dependent on the size and the variety. You must also consider your location; cold temps, dessert, coastal, wet lands? 

The basic cost for a 15 gallon palm tree can be anywhere between $25.00 to $150.00. If you are looking for a taller tree, or a multiple trunk tree, that all cost into account on the final price.

You must ask yourself, "Am I installing it?" Are you paying a landscaper to install the palm trees?

A food for thought, even though there are amazing landscapers available, the best installation is actually from the palm farm you purchase it through. Why? They are knowledgeable from the root up, literally. The size of the root ball, how many fronds remain for the health of the trees, how deep the hole needs to be, how the palm tree will be installed; tractor, by hand. So, you can see there are many elements in purchasing a new palm tree.

Let's make it easy for you! PICK YOU PALM TREE, WE INSTALL IT AND THERE YOU GO!Call Gregory Palm Farms (714) 814-8525 and let's talk about what is most important to you.
