The Pygmy Palm is a compact and elegant palm tree prized for its graceful, arching fronds and manageable size. Typically reaching 6 to 12 feet tall, it is perfect for small gardens, patios, or as an accent plant in larger tropical landscapes. Its fine-textured, feather-like leaves grow in a neat crown atop a slender trunk, and the plant can be grown as a single or multi-trunk specimen. Slow-growing and visually refined, the Pygmy Palm adds a lush, tropical feel without overwhelming the space.

Ideal for USDA Zones 9 through 11, the Pygmy Palm thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is moderately drought-tolerant once established and can also adapt well to containers, making it a favorite for courtyards or poolside planters. This palm is also relatively low-maintenance, with minimal pruning required aside from removing older fronds. Whether used indoors in bright spaces or outdoors in warm climates, the Pygmy Palm brings elegance, texture, and a tropical touch to any setting.

"We picked out two palm trees and they were delivered and planted on the date that was promised. Jeremy and his crew were very professional, efficient, and our trees look wonderful. We're very pleased with the service we received. "

"Need six single separate pygmy palms - need a container size I can lift and plant into two terrace planters - 3 separate ones in each. We are in Coronado 92118. How much will they cost and how tall are the TRUNK portion of the palms? (not counting the spring/fall 50% off sale). Container about size of Home Depot bucket? next bigger size? What season has best selection and best time to plant? Thanks, Diane 619-841-1504 "

"Never heard of this type of smaller palm until I went down to the nursery. Love this Moon Valley recommendation. "

"I planted 8 of these around some King Palms on a big slope in my backyard. These really make the taller palms look great and help with the dirt that comes off into my pool. Moon Valley had their crew of planters come out to my house and got all this stuff planted in just a few hours. They cleaned up more than needed and made sure I was happy and the Mrs. was happy as well. "

"Planted 8 of these with some Mexican Palms and they look really awesome. These are a lot shorter growing then the other ones and they look really good and clean. I like how they have a few different trunks growing out of them cause it makes the area nice and full looking. These are also really clean compared to things that have flowers on them. Moon Valley planted these with a bunch of other things and they did it really fast, like 4 hours fast. They did a great job, very happy. "

"My wife and I visited Moon Valley with the goal of finding accent plants for our yard. We were driven around on a golf cart and presented all of the various tropical plants and loved everything. We were given the recommendation of the pygmy date palm by the nursery rep and completely feel in love with them when taken to the palms. These pygmy palms are perfect for accenting our taller palms or even being the focal point themselves. A few months after planting, these pygmy's are thriving and look amazing in my yard! "
