The Top Palm for Container Growing

Note: This item may ship as a multi-trunk or single-trunk tree.

Vibrant tropical flair, right in your own backyard. With multi-trunk Christmas Palms planted in your landscape, you can walk out the door to find paradise.

Place yours in a container and bring it inside for the perfect accent piece, or place it on the porch or patio. They are perfect for tight, compact spaces, including areas near sidewalks and driveways. This is the palm that won’t take over or outgrow the area.

However, their crowns are large enough to create relaxing areas of shade beneath them. They can be strategically placed to create shade by the pool, in the yard, or driveway to provide cool relief from the heat.

Best of all, Christmas Palms are incredibly low-maintenance and don’t require a lot of attention. All you have to decide is where your Christmas Palms will look best. Before you know it, you'll have mature, elegant palm trees in your yard or home, making a beautiful statement.

At the top of every Christmas Palm, you will find a lush green crown, filled with 10 to 12 arching fronds. They also have textured trunks with darker rings where older leaves used to be, giving them a unique pattern.

And in the summer, clusters of small green flowers bloom and quickly start growing into round, green fruit. In the late fall, towards December, the ornamental fruit turns a shade of scarlet red, and they look like Christmas ornaments, giving this color palm its name.

Basically, you'll have self-decorating trees that will thrive anywhere. Is there anything better? Lend a festive touch to your garden and order your own Christmas Palm today!

Beautiful Palms

I purchased the Christmas Palms a year ago, May 2025. They are beautiful. I hope they will grow a little quicker to provide some shade 😊 I’m in Zone 10, Tustin California.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Diana, thank you for the wonderful update! We are so glad to hear that your Christmas Palms are happy and healthy after a year in your landscape. Growing them in Zone 10 is fantastic, as they absolutely love the Southern California weather. While they often spend their first year focusing heavily on underground root growth, they will naturally start pushing up much faster once they are fully settled. We cannot wait for them to give you that perfect, resort-style shade you are looking forward to. Happy gardening, and thank you for your support!

Love my Christmas Palm

I love it. I should've researched it a little more because I'm not going to be able to plant it. It won't withstand the cold in the winter. No problem though I'll get a big beautiful pot and put it on wheels.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Denise, Thank you for sharing your review! We love your creative thinking. Putting your Christmas Palm in a beautiful pot on wheels is the perfect way to handle our winter weather here in North Carolina. This variety loves our warm Carolina summers, but it definitely needs protection when the winter temperatures drop. Moving it to a mobile container allows you to keep it thriving as a stunning patio feature during the warm months and a lush indoor houseplant when it gets cold. Thank you for choosing us for your home, and happy growing!

Christmas Palm

It took Federal Express a little longer to get it to me it was a little beat up and they delivered it to the wrong house but all in all I gave it to a friend for her pool house and she loves it

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Mary, we're sorry about the delivery hiccups along the way! We'll be sharing that feedback with our carrier. What a thoughtful gift though and we're so glad your friend is loving it by the pool house. That's exactly where a Christmas Palm belongs!
