- Chinese Windmill Palms are probably the best-known palm in the UK due to their hardiness, hairy trunks and large fan like leaves.
- Canary Island Date Palm is quite rare in the UK and very striking due to its stunning very long leaf formation.
- Dwarf Fan Palms introduced especially for events that require small palm trees.
- Butterfly Palm a new addition for 2009/10 ideal for smaller interior spaces.
- The Kentia Palm is over used in interior landscaping and so not often considered but placed in the right space is a beautiful palm.
- Finally the Jelly Palm, an extremely rare and beautiful plant, little seen in the UK.
Palm trees are plants with un-branched trunks and large, evergreen leaf formations pinnate or palmate leaves (the leaf shape is characterised with the following:
- Pinnate leaves = having leaflets on each side of a common axis i.e. Canary Island Date Palm, Butterfly Palm, Kentia Palm
- Palmate leaves = having more than three leaflets arising from a common
point, often in the form of a fan) i.e. Chinese Windmill Palm, Dwarf Palm
Historical & Geographical information: Palms can be traced back approximately 80 million years and yet have changed little. Palms used to be symbols for concepts like peace, victory and fertility due to their importance in early civilization. There are over 2,500 species of palm trees worldwide existing in a vast array of habitats the majority are found in the rainforests and jungles located in the tropical regions (Central & South America, Africa, Asia) and sub tropical regions (which cover every continent except Antarctica).
