There are thousands of different species of palm trees, and most of them are strictly tropical, but a handful of palms can handle enough cold to survive our mildest winters.
Nothing brings the image of a tropical vacation quite like palm trees. You may have seen palm trees planted as summertime potted plants in our climate, but some gardeners are pushing the limits and growing palm trees outside all year long with cold hardy palm trees.
In recent years, our winters have been exceptionally mild.Although we can still experience significant cold, it's becoming less frequent, and gardeners are taking advantage of it. Island Wide Palm trees is based out of Medford, NY and have a very unique specialty. They're a local company that supplies cold hardy palm trees to homeowners looking for a tropical look that doesn't end when the weather gets cooler. These palm species will be damaged during a cold winter - so they also provide an optional service to cover up the palms up each winter. They wrap and unwrap more then 400 palm trees across the tristate every year.
