A customer might ask for a Royal Palm and get one price over the phone, then send a photo of the site and hear a different number. That is not price guessing. It is usually the reality of what affects the price of palms and trees in South Florida, where plant size, availability, site access, and installation needs can quickly change the total.

If you’re a South Florida homeowner, landscaper, or property developer looking for a compact and elegant shade tree that’s easy to maintain, the Japanese Fern Tree (Filicium decipiens) is a great option.
