More than a thousand varieties of palms are found in the United States, and all these are available in the market as seedlings, potted plants or fully grown trees that can be directly transplanted to your home. Buying at each stage of tree growth requires special care to see it to its maturity. Even fully-grown palm trees are pruned and shipped to homes, where the new owners can replant them in their gardens. Palm seedlings can be purchased from horticultural nurseries and grown in containers until they are ready to be repotted outdoors. Potted plants in containers that are ready to be transferred to your garden can also be purchased from palm tree farms or ordered online.
