Through the group’s direct involvement over many years in growing and selling plants, and more specifically as one of the world’s leading growers and suppliers of specimen palms, the Evergreen Group recognises the fact that palm trees are associated worldwide with a tropical, peaceful and relaxed environment. Thus, the requirement of so many home owners to have a number of palms in close proximity to their pool.

Palm trees are also used the world over as the finishing touch to office-parks.Sometimes as few as two specimen palm trees can provide a stately, upmarket look and feel to business premises.

This worldwide perspective translates into the fact that ‘everyone wants a palm’.

However, while most people prefer an ‘instant palm’, they simply do not have the necessary time or expertise to undertake the time-consuming exercise of locating a suitable palm, based on hardiness, planting area available, location (geographic and exposure to the elements) and site access, followed by the requirements of specialised transport, lifting equipment and correct planting procedures for the palm.

As a result of the many requests received over the years, Plant a Palm (Pty) Ltd was born as a standalone member of the Evergreen Group, in order to offer home owners and businesses a ‘turnkey’ solution to owning a palm.
