"Jurassic" Palms

These old and grand Cabbage and Sabal Palm trees are approximately 100 years old. They lend an almost prehistoric look to the landscape and we call them Jurassic Palms!

These Florida natives are not only old, but are gigantic ... some exceed 45 feet in height and weigh up to 4,000 pounds. Talk about a mature tree.

These trees require transport via semi and our professional installation services.To ensure survivability during transport,these trees' fronds are removed and will regrow within one season.

These palms are perfect over swimming pools or where you want to make a statement.

We currently have a limited number of these trees, so hurry ...
