The use of date palms in improving the landscape

When we talk about the date palm trees, the first thing that strikes our mind is that these can only be grown in tropical regions. Well, this is not true. Many people grow these plants for decoration purposes even in temperate regions where these is less sunlight as compared to the tropical areas. In recent years, there is a great trend of using these trees as a source of landscape improvement and the main reason is the height of these trees. People who decorate their place with palm trees prefer to pick the date palms for several reasons. There are many species of palm trees and you can pick the right one depending on the weather and soil conditions of the area. Sunlight and water are two major requirements of these trees and you need to put serious emphasis on these conditions when you are picking the right type of tree for your yards. Additionally, you will be required to consider the size and area of the place where you want to plant these trees as it will greatly affect the type of tree you pick.

Right way of planting these trees:

For landscape purposes, you should always plant the male and female trees together if you are expecting fruit. You will get the fruit only from the female plant and that too when it is present near a male tree. You cannot get proper fruits from these plants if you have not exposed the trees to enough sunlight and there is less water under the soil. You will be required to water these trees on regular intervals if you want to enjoy dates from these trees. It is always a great idea to seek professional advice before you plant the tree as these professionals can guide you with the best options for your yard or the area where you plan to germinate the seeds.

A common mistake that people do while planting these trees in houses is that they never consider the future size of the tree. These trees are about hundred feet tall and they will require a lot of your house space, therefore you should only consider planting them in or near your house when you have enough space to spare. Further, they will soak a lot of water from under the ground affecting other plants and trees. You should consider these two factors before you plan on decorating your area with palm trees. Contrary to that, you can always pick a different specie of palm tree with lesser heights. There are palm trees which can be grown inside to decorate air vents and patios.

Benefits of using palm trees for landscape purposes:

Planting the palm trees for landscape purposes would not only decorate your area and will provide your house or office with an exceptional look but will also bring a lot of benefits. The palm trees are a great source to balance the humidity in air while reducing the dust levels. The long leaves of palm trees produce a smoothening sound in air and the shadow of these trees on the walls of your house will create a mesmerizing look to enjoy.
