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.
