Palm trees have been a part of myths and religion as Christians travelling to the Holy Land is known as “palmeros”. It is also believed that the Goddess Astarte or Tamar resided in Palm trees. You can find several thousand of palm species native to Florida, California, Hawaii, Southern Georgia, Texas, etc, in the United States and are available in market as seedlings, potted plants or fully grown trees that can be directly transplanted to your home.

In ancient times the trunks of the palm trees have been used to build catamarans or special boats. Various uses of palm can be found like harvesting dates from palms, producing coir ropes, mats and bags from palms and extracting palm oil as well as wine from palm.
One of the palm species .i.e. the sabal palm tree or sabal palmetto known as the cabbage palm tree is the most commonly planted palm tree in the Southern US. This palm tree grows about one foot per year. Upon aging the lower leaf stems can be removed artificially, or naturally, giving the trunk a slick and desirable look in the landscape. The sabal palm tree can survive in any temperature from very low to drought situation. The sabal palm trees’ adaptable nature requires a less maintenance.

You can improve the aesthetic appearance of your landscape by adding these ornamental sabal palm trees. Buying these palm trees at a fully grown stage are pruned and shipped to homes or hotels, farms, etc, where the new owners can replant them in their gardens, or at a desired place. You can also get potted plants in containers that are ready to be transferred to your garden and can be purchased from palm tree farms or ordered online.

Once established, most palm trees do not need any additional water unless there is a drought like situation so, avoid over watering your palm trees. Palm trees can live or survive easily for two-three years in a pot after which they need to be planted on the ground or re-potted in a larger pot with fresh soil. It is important to remember that while planting a palm tree in the ground: plant them at the same depth as it was growing in the pot avoid planting too deep in the ground. Always consider the mature size of the palm tree before you plant them and install them perfectly in a correct manner which will enhance the look of your surroundings.
