Palms are ubiquitous here, lining our shores and our storefronts.

But they are not exclusive to the warmth of the south.

There are palms for nearly every application and climate available at Palmco, and we have many cold-hardy wholesale palms available for delivery to Massachusetts.

They can be used as specimens to catch the eye of the passer by, and are particularly dramatic when doubled or tripled in groups. If you are looking for palm trees to use in Massachusetts, Palmco should be your first call.

We provide a wide selection of the highest-quality cold-hardy palms.

Palms In Massachusetts’s Climate

Massachusetts can get quite cold, and it demands hardy plants.

Winters are hard and long, and temperatures routinely fall below freezing. Fortunately, Palmco offers several species of cold-hardy palms that are well-suited to Massachusetts’s chill.

Many varieties of palms can be grown in containers that can be moved inside in winter, and outside in summer. Others, with winter protection, can survive outside year after year in USDA Zone 6A/B New England.

The elegant Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortune) is an example of such a palm.

Capable of growing as far north as Canada, the Windmill palm can withstand cold winters. It’s a widely used palm that is exquisitely attractive, lending an air of grace to any property. The Windmill palm is evocative and quite useful as an accent. Ideal for use in Massachusetts, the Windmill is just one example of the kind of cold-hardy palm we offer.

Also consider the Sabal Palm (Sabal palmetto or Cabbage Palm) that can grow in quite low temperatures. It’s a remarkably elegant and widely used palm.

The Chinese Fan Palm (Livistona chinensis) and European Fan Palm (Chamaerops humilis) are two other examples that can tolerate frost conditions down to about 10°F.

Protecting Palms From The Cold

Cold weather affects plants in different ways.

First, frost or freezing temps can damage the tissue of the plant and limit the conduction of water through the trunk. Cold weather will also slow down the growth of the palm and reduce root activity. This can weaken the palm and make it susceptible to disease.

Here are a few preventive measures you can take to help your palms survive the winter.
