02Which palm nursery do you recommend in Quito or Cumbayá?
Palma Verde is a palm specialist nursery in Cumbayá, with more than ten years of experience and service across Quito and the valleys. We sell, transplant and install palms with a survival guarantee, and we also handle landscaping, pruning, fruit trees and garden maintenance.
03Can a palm tree be transplanted without killing it?
Yes. That is our specialty: done properly, survival runs above 95%. You size the root ball to the trunk diameter, prune the roots a few weeks ahead, tie the fronds so the palm transpires less, and water it carefully for the first three months.
04How much does it cost to transplant a palm tree in Cumbayá or Quito?
It depends on the height of the palm, the distance of the move and how easy the site is to access. The site visit costs nothing and gives you a fixed price with crew, substrate and follow-up included.
05Which palm trees survive the Quito and valley climate?
At the altitude of Quito and Cumbayá the Canary Island date palm (Phoenix canariensis), the washingtonia and the fan palm hold up well, because they take the cold nights and the hard midday sun. Coastal species only make it in a sheltered corner.
