Palm trees are probably the plants with the greatest capacity to transform a garden. A single, well-chosen and well-placed palm tree brings verticality, exoticism and an unmistakable character to the space. But not all palms perform equally well outdoors: resistance to cold, final size, watering requirements and growth speed vary greatly between species.<\/p>\n
In the Spanish Mediterranean arc - from Catalonia to Andalusia, through the Valencian Community and Murcia - dozens of palm species can be grown outdoors, while in northern Europe they only survive in greenhouses. The key is to choose the right species for each climate, space and landscape objective.<\/p>\n
In Mediflora, we have been growing outdoor palm trees for more than 30 years in our nursery in Elche, the city of palm trees. We work with more than 15 species and we have specimens of all sizes, from seedlings to large palm trees ready for transplanting. This guide will help you choose the perfect palm tree for your garden.<\/p>\n
The queen of the Palmeral de Elche and the most emblematic palm tree of the Mediterranean. Characteristics:<\/p>\n
The most spectacular canopy palm in the Mediterranean, with a massive crown up to 10 meters in diameter:<\/p>\n
The fastest growing palm with the slenderest silhouette. Indispensable in the Mediterranean urban landscape:<\/p>\n
Similar to robusta but with thicker trunk and denser crown:<\/p>\n
An elegant tropical looking palm with feathery, arching leaves:<\/p>\n
The only palm tree native to continental Europe. Ideal for small and Mediterranean gardens:<\/p>\n
The palm tree for cold climates par excellence, with its trunk covered with fiber:<\/p>\n
A very decorative palm with a bluish crown and edible fruits:<\/p>\n
Cold resistance is the first selection criterion:<\/p>\n
The Washingtonia robusta<\/em> es la palmera de crecimiento m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido en clima mediterr\u00e1neo, alcanzando 50-80 cm al a\u00f1o en condiciones \u00f3ptimas. En 10-15 a\u00f1os puede superar los 10 metros de altura. Si buscas resultado r\u00e1pido con menor inversi\u00f3n inicial, es la mejor opci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n The Trachycarpus fortunei<\/em> (palmera china) resiste heladas de hasta -15 \u00b0C, lo que la convierte en la palmera m\u00e1s resistente al fr\u00edo del mundo. Le sigue el palmito (Chamaerops humilis<\/em>) con -10 \u00b0C, y la Butia capitata<\/em> con -10 \u00b0C. Entre las grandes palmeras, la datilera y la canaria toleran hasta -8 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Established adult palms are remarkably resistant to drought, especially Mediterranean species such as palms and date palms. During the first year after planting they do need regular watering to establish the root system. Once established, a fortnightly watering in summer is sufficient for most species.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n S\u00ed, pero elige especies que no generen exceso de residuos. Las mejores opciones son el palmito (Chamaerops humilis<\/em>) y la Butia capitata<\/em>, que producen pocas hojas secas. Evita la Washingtonia<\/em>, cuyas hojas secas colgantes generan residuos constantes. Mant\u00e9n una distancia m\u00ednima de 3-4 metros del borde de la piscina.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n El precio var\u00eda enormemente seg\u00fan la especie y el tama\u00f1o. Una Washingtonia robusta<\/em> de 4-5 metros de tronco puede costar 300-600 euros. Una palmera datilera del mismo tama\u00f1o, entre 1.500 y 3.000 euros. Los ejemplares excepcionales (datileras centenarias con tronco curvado, canarias de gran copa) pueden superar los 10.000 euros. En Mediflora ofrecemos presupuesto personalizado.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n On our palm catalogue<\/a> encontrar\u00e1s m\u00e1s de 15 especies cultivadas al aire libre en Elche.

Una sola palmera bien elegida y colocada aporta verticalidad, exotismo y un car\u00e1cter inconfundible al espacio.
