Default Affordable Palm Trees ????

Affordable Palm Trees ...if there is such a thing ??? Looking to replace a couple palms. Nothing huge...most places we went into were a small mortgage.
Where is a respectful place to purchase palms ?

Yes. Google Majestic tree farm in Clermont....they have many and varied, all healthy. They deliver, plant and guarantee them. We drove out and picked out our tree but you don't have to. The owner is wonderful!

I hope my photo attaches. It's a Sylvester sp? $250

Default baileysdad should re-think this idea!

High High maintenance!....If you look around the Villages, palms trash is what you see all over when we have any wind, rain or storm. Bugs love them but I don't! Landscapers love them also!

than any other tree, bush or shrub. Of course maintenance is required, just like cutting your lawn, but to a lot of people, palms are a beautiful thing to have in a yard. As far as the bugs, I don't follow you there.

Default Agree to disagree

We trimmed our palms to a foot below ground level and it was a happy day!
If you check the internet, you will find palm seedlings are a bugs best friend.
