⌛ Palms and other plants

Apologies if this question has already been asked, I did do a search without any success.
Where can you buy Palms....Royal palm, Champagne palm and other larger shrubs, are there nurseries in Dumaguete
Any info much appreciated

Thanks

If you drive around in Valencia you will find at various places along the roads palms etc.. for sale. In general they are very well maintained and if you take some more time you can get a good deal.
Also go to the Quezon Park across the cathedral and ask there. They sell plants and also palm trees (small sized still).
Another nice place to go is on the south road to Bacong. Near Banilad you find on your right hand side of the road a gardening.
I thought the name is Sta Catalina.
They have a big selection, but .................of course not cheap

 

Yes, Santa Catalina has some nice palms along with other nice plants. My favorite there is a unique one called a Traveler Tree.

 

Drive around Valencia, plants are for sale everywhere.

In Daro (where you can see all clay pots and bricks and other clay products lined along the road) I remember one selling palms there...You may want to pass by and ask if they are still around.

 

Yes, Valencia along the highway , Freedom park and along the side of school by the park. you will find 'Champagne' and Ravanella [travellers] . If you want more specialised palms you will need to travel a bit , down to Siit arboretum , but check waht they have available first, but if you want to see a huge collection of palms in situe its the best place to go

 

I bought nice Traveler Palms and Golden Palm at a nursery on South Hiway past Mangnao and the Petron station.

 

Yes, that's the Sta Catalina nursery.
Well maintained nursery, but of course a bit more expensive.
They are professionals as it looks to me.

 

True! Employee there to prospective very large Traveler Tree buyer, "it will take 12 Filipinos and a large truck to deliver that for you". :D

 

Ravanella [Traveller palm] is fast growing so you dont need to buy a big one but do check how big a mature plant is so that you can give it enough room
