Hi!
Why do we tie up the fronds on a palm tree during transport?
It is so important to tie-up those fronds for not only the safety of the palm, but also for the health of the palm.
When a palm is transplanted, it is generally better to leave the fronds tied up to give the plant time to acclimate and push new growth in their new home. It doesn't look very good for most people however it's a really smart thing to do.
The process of tying up the palm makes it even easier for us and we move it to the waiting truck. It would be better sad seeing the palm swinging around with fronds banging against the tractors. Simple solutions are often the better choice.

Triangle Palms has their root-ball wrapped, fronds tied and are being hoisted onto the trailer for their new home.We guarantee our palms so you can rest assured.

How large does the hole for a giant palm need to be?
Check this out! The hole has to be slightly larger than the root ball! In this case, the root ball is 4 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet. So, the hole that we dug is 5 feet by 5 feet by 5 feet! The hole is larger to give those
precious roots room to grow and thrive!

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!
