With the palm as Florida’s state tree, it’s not surprising that palm trees are a very popular feature to many lawns throughout the state. Thanks to the area’s temperate climate, several varieties of the palm are native and thrive in many of Central Floridians’ lush yards. If you do not already have a palm tree, you might want to consider adding an elegant variety as part of your new landscape design installation plans or along with a new sod installation. If you decide a palm tree would be a great addition, then there are a few key points to assess.
Pick the Best Time to Plant
While Florida doesn’t experience the same climate swings as its northern neighbors, many landscaping services would recommend spring or early summer at a better time for a palm tree installation, especially if the palm is a field grown versus a container-grown tree.
Find the Perfect Location
The location of your palm tree has a lot to do with the type of tree you select. For instance, if you want the cooling fronds of shade or canopy tree, then the back yard or front porch might be best. If you want to create an impressive entrance to your house, consider a stately feather or fan leaf variety. However, for your palm to thrive, make sure its new home is situated in a location with the right drainage and soil. You could consult a landscape design installation specialist to help you locate the perfect spot.
