The Adonidia Palm, also known as the Christmas Palm, is a straight-trunked palm with a stocky appearance and light green, fine-textured leaves. The name “Christmas Palm” came about due to the vibrant red berries produced by the Adonidia Palm around the winter holidays. Adonidia Palms are low maintenance, making for simple care, as they drop dead fronds by themselves.
About Our Plants
Our soil is custom blended and contains only the highest quality Canadian peat. We don’t try to cut cost with cheaper mixes. Additionally, all of our plants are grown with 100 to 180 day time release fertilizer so you won’t be running out of it just when the plants arrive. This is not the case with the quick release 30 day fertilizers that many other companies tend to use.
We do approximately 90% of our own liners. Since the cost is relatively inexpensive, we put twice as many liners in each container for many of the varieties. Accordingly, this makes for a much fuller plant.
All of our plants are given more than adequate spacing. For instance, most of the flowering bushes and trellis plants have 4 square feet of spacing. The Boston fern hanging baskets, for example, have 6 square feet. This allows our plants to grow as big and full as possible.
