Dates Palm Tree
Palm trees are an excellent and versatile addition to a yard. Miniature palm trees are generally defined as being under 20 feet (6 m.) tall, which in terms of palms is really quite short. Within this category there are two types of palm trees: small tree and bushy. Each has its own uses and comes in many varieties.
Palm Tree Choices
Palm tree care starts with the proper selection of species. Choose one that is hardy in your region and situate it where it gets adequate light and has excellent drainage. There are many varieties of palms from which to choose, but consideration should also be taken as to the plant’s mature size. Some are towering plants and don’t fit into many home landscape situations.
How to Take Care of Palm Trees
Once you have your selection site, preparation is crucial to a healthy plant. Excessively alkaline soil should be amended with sulfur. The area should have organic nutrients over a large area since palm tree roots will spread and should have access to these nutrients many feet from the trunk.
