A Large variety of special Plants
Palma Verde is a company that has been trading plants online since 2005. Thanks to our experience in this field, we have grown over the years to become one of the most reliable online garden centers in the Netherlands. Through experimentation in our test garden, we have also gained a lot of practical knowledge, which has allowed us to expand our range.
Every year, we continue to search for new and special plants that we believe will add value for Dutch (and European) gardening enthusiasts. Plants that we add to our range remain part of it. When a product is temporarily unavailable, it means we are searching for or even cultivating new plants.
Tropical and Exotic Plants
Our range includes various hardy bananas, such as Musa basjoo, M. sikkemensis, and Musella lasiocarpa. Additionally, we have many varieties of non-hardy bananas, where either the leaves or the flowers are a great addition for the exotic plant collector. Apart from bananas, we also offer many wonderfully fragrant plants (such as Arabian jasmine or Tuscan jasmine) as well as beautifully flowering plants (like Calliandra Dixi Pink or Jacaranda mimosifolia). Are you looking for truly unique fruit varieties? Take a look at the Myrciaria cauliflora, Pawpaw, or Pitaya.
Fruit Trees
More and mor
e people desire to eat fruit from their own garden, and we understand why. It’s healthy, convenient,
and simply fun to watch food grow. We offer many types of fruit, categorized by their hardiness. Truly hardy trees (such as walnuts, Nashi pears, and persimmons) can easily withstand a Dutch winter.
We also have moderately hardy plants that survive a Dutch winter and can bear fruit under the right conditions (e.g., pomegranate, loquat, or olive).
Finally, we have non-hardy fruit plants. These plants thrive best when grown in pots. If they receive proper care and are brought inside during the winter (e.g., in a winter greenhouse or garage), they can produce tropical fruits (plants you can think of include mango, passionfruit, and a large selection of citrus plants).
Hardiness
All the plants we offer come from our own nursery. This means that the plants are already accustomed to the temperatures. By dividing our nursery into three sections with different minimum temperatures (0°C, 5°C, and 12°C), we can help the plants acclimate to the Dutch climate. A banana tree grown in perfect conditions in a greenhouse will quickly suffer when exposed to outdoor conditions.
By properly hardening the plants, we can provide strong plants year-round, ready for planting in the ground or as potted plants.
Contact
If we had to choose, we’d prefer to spend the whole day in the greenhouse and be as far away from the desk as possible. If you’d like to get in touch, it’s best to email us. We can then look up all the details of your order and assist you as best as possible. You can also add any photos of the plant directly to the email. We will respond to your email as soon as possible.
Shipping and Pickup
We ship packages up to a maximum weight of 23 kg and 175 cm in height. We try to process orders daily, so we usually ship your package within a few days (when possible). Plants are securely fixed in the box, and due to our experience and expertise, damage is rare.
Larger orders may be shipped on a pallet within the Netherlands.
You can pick up your order on Saturdays between 9:00 and 12:00. During checkout, you can select this option, and you’ll receive an email with further details.
Visiting our nursery outside these hours is not possible. Unfortunately, even during the scheduled times, there is no opportunity to tour the nursery. However, we have open days in the first weekend of June. After we’ve tidied up, straightened everything, and removed the weeds, we invite people to take a look at our business. Keep an eye on our website for the annual open days, and we’d be happy to welcome you with a cup of coffee and Limburgse vlaai!
