Palm Tree Reviews and Price Guide:Are you a fan of palm trees? Who could not like the infamous Palm Tree? I grew up in California (now I live in Las Vegas) and palm trees were a way of life for us, especially when I lived near the beach. There are so many types of palm tress like the Sago, Beach, Date, Queen, King, Bonsai, Artificial, Banana, etc. I lived in Los Angeles for 10 years and I remember the first time I drove down Sunset Blvd which goes right through Beverly Hills, what an awesome sight that was. There were just rows and rows of huge palm tress (probably 40 ft tall) that were bordering the road - it was so cool.. Hawaii is also known for having some sexy palm trees, but I don't know how you could get a more relaxing vibe than the beaches in California. The western states (California, Nevada, etc.) are known for being a good place to plant palm trees because they do well in sunny weather. One of the most popular palm trees is the artificial type, which can cost between $20 and $200 just depending on how big of a tree you want. Another popular item nowadays is palm tree bedding, lamps, and curtains which have become big with the younger generation. We researched many of the popular websites online that sell palm trees and accessories (lamps, soil, seed, etc.) and have listed the reviews below. I love the look of a palm tree and would recommend that everybody try planting at least one in their yard, if nothing else it will help you relax at home with the tropical vibe it brings.
Palm Tree Types - Beach / Banana / Queen :Now that summer is here everybody wants to plant a palm tree and I can't blame you. Palm trees can definitely make your yard look clean and fresh, especially when you consider the price. King and Queen Palm Trees usually sell for about $55 each which on average are 7-8ft tall. I planted a few Queen palms 2 years ago at my home in Vegas and boy have they grown. Unfortunately the Queen Palm is a fairly skinny tree and that's not really what I wanted, but I didn't research the trees before I planted them so now I have to live with the results. If you do live in Las Vegas be sure to check out lvpalms.com for a great selection of palm trees (Mexican Fan Palms and Date Palms). Your best bet for buying an outdoor palm tree is to stop by your local nursery (even a Home Depot) and ask somebody in their gardening section about what palm trees grown well in your city. The climate you live in really determines how well a palm tree will grow so do your Research. Another good website for determining how to care for a palm tree is evergrowing.com/tips. Their website is great and offers advice on watering, soil, fertilizer, etc. If you are thinking about planting some of those palm trees that you see at commercial business complexes, then be prepared to spend over $1,000 a tree. Palm trees can be very expensive and when you are talking about a 30 foot tree don't be surprised when you see the price tag.Palm Tree Lights / Lighting - Palm Tree Lamp :Do you want to buy a lighted palm tree?
