Palms

From hardy windmill and Mediterranean fan palms to date palms and the architectural Canary Island specimen. Chosen for coastal gardens, courtyards, and the frost that catches people out at altitude.

Canary Island Date Palm

Phoenix canariensis

The grand landmark palm, with a massive pineapple-textured trunk and a crown that can span ten metres. This is a specimen tree for a driveway, a hotel forecourt, or an estate entrance, not for a small garden.

Price on request

Date Palm

Phoenix dactylifera

The true date palm, slimmer and more upright than its Canary Island relative, and productive in hot dry positions. Suckers freely at the base, which can be removed for a single clean trunk or left for a clumped grove effect.

Price on request

Pygmy Date Palm

Phoenix roebelenii

A miniature date palm reaching only two or three metres, with a slender trunk and fine arching fronds. The palm to use in a courtyard, beside a pool, or in a large pot on a terrace, and equally happy indoors in bright light.

Price on request

Mexican Fan Palm

Washingtonia robusta

The tall, slender fan palm that lines coastal boulevards, growing fast and reaching considerable height on a narrow trunk. Useful where you want vertical scale quickly and have little ground area to give it.

Price on request

California Fan Palm

Washingtonia filifera

Stouter and heavier than the Mexican fan palm, with a thick trunk and a dense crown. Slower growing and more cold tolerant, which makes it the better choice slightly inland or at modest altitude.

Price on request

Windmill Palm

Trachycarpus fortunei

The most cold-hardy palm in this catalogue, with a slim fibre-covered trunk and stiff fan leaves. This is the palm that will survive a Lebanese mountain winter where nothing else with fronds would.

Price on request

Mediterranean Fan Palm

Chamaerops humilis

The only palm native to continental Europe and North Africa, naturally multi-stemmed and shrubby rather than tall. Exceptionally tough, and the most regionally appropriate palm for a water-wise Lebanese garden.

Price on request

Chinese Fan Palm

Livistona chinensis

Broad, deeply divided fan leaves with elegantly drooping tips, giving a softer and more tropical effect than the stiffer Washingtonia palms. Good in a courtyard or as a large container specimen.

Price on request

Queen Palm

Syagrus romanzoffiana

A fast, graceful feather palm with a smooth grey trunk and a full arching crown. Gives a genuinely tropical effect quickly, which is exactly why it is planted so widely along warm coastlines.

Price on request

Mexican Blue Palm

Brahea armata

Striking waxy silver-blue fan leaves on a slow-growing, stocky trunk. One of the most beautiful and most drought-proof palms available, and a genuine focal point in a gravel or water-wise garden.

Price on request

Parlor Palm

Chamaedorea elegans

The classic indoor palm, tolerating low light and dry rooms better than almost any other. Small, slow, and undemanding, it has been a houseplant for well over a century for good reason.

Price on request

Areca Palm

Dypsis lutescens

Full, feathery, and golden-stemmed, the areca is the palm to use when you want an indoor plant that reads as a piece of furniture. Clumping habit gives it density from the base up.

Planting something larger?

If you are planning a full garden, an orchard, or a landscape project, we can design and install it rather than supply it plant by plant.
