If you want to live in an Oasis then a palm tree may be the perfect idea. Most people think that in order to have a palm tree on their property that they need to live in a tropical or warm climate. That couldn’t be further from the truth. The reality is that there are a number of different species of palm tree that can withstand much cooler conditions. If you want to get that vacation type feel than grab a landscaper and start looking around. What’s nice about palm trees is that it’s only one tree yet it looks like it completes an entire landscaping job. But before you decide on the palm tree here are some quick tips:
Palm trees require some maintenance. Smaller trees can be easy to do on your own, but larger palm trees may require professional assistance. This can become costly over time.
Palm trees are sensitive to cold environments. A few species of palm can withstand a cold winter but many others can be permanently damaged by a single cold night. It is wise to do research on your area and the kinds of palms that can survive in your local climate. There are sites that can help you find what best suits your region. One such site can be found here.
When buying a palm tree the price depends on the particular tree and the height of the tree you select. A short palm can cost as little as $77. If you want a fully grown tree, those can potentially cost up to $800.
The main ongoing cost of a palm tree is the trimming. One of the major contributing factors to trimming costs is the height of the tree. Trees shorter than 30 feet can range between $75 and $400 to trim properly, while larger trees range from $200 and $1200. Unkempt trees will cost more to trim. If a tree is maintained regularly each trimming will cost less.
