Tropical Yards has the best selection of palm trees for sale in St. Augustine — Majesty, Cat, Areca, Pygmy Date, Windmill, Sago, and more. All palms are Florida-proven and priced lower than Home Depot, Lowe's, or any local nursery. Dump trailer delivery throughout Northeast Florida.
Palm trees are the defining plants of the Florida landscape — and St. Augustine homeowners know that nothing transforms a yard quite like the right palm. Whether you're looking for a single statement tree beside your driveway, a row of Areca palms for a privacy screen, a clustering Pygmy Date for a poolside focal point, or a cold-hardy Windmill palm for a north-facing exposure, Tropical Yards has what you need at prices no one in Northeast Florida can match.
When you search for "palm trees for sale near me" in St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Palm Coast, or Daytona Beach, you'll find that most big-box stores carry a limited selection of poorly acclimated palms at inflated prices. Tropical Yards is different. We specialize in tropical plants — every palm we carry is selected specifically for Florida's Zone 8b–9b climate, properly hardened off, and available in sizes ranging from manageable 3-gallon containers to impressive specimen trees.
Our palm tree inventory is refreshed regularly to ensure you're getting healthy, Florida-acclimated plants — not stressed stock that's been sitting on a retail shelf under fluorescent lights. We also carry complementary plants like hibiscus, bougainvillea, and tropical privacy shrubs to complete the tropical look around your palms.
Delivery is available throughout Northeast Florida via 14ft dump trailer. Our flat-rate delivery pricing covers your entire order — palm trees, tropical plants, and even coquina shell in one trip. This means you can completely transform your yard in a single delivery.
All palm trees are Florida-grown and proven for USDA Zones 8b–9b. Prices shown are starting retail prices for smallest available size. Call 772-267-1611 for current availability and larger specimen pricing.

Areca Palm and Cat Palm are the top choices for privacy in St. Augustine landscapes. Areca palms grow quickly into dense, feathery clumps 15–25 feet tall — ideal for blocking neighbors or creating a lush tropical backdrop. Cat palms are more compact at 6–8 feet, perfect for patio screening.
Majesty Palm and Pygmy Date Palm are the most popular poolside palms in St. Augustine. Majesty palms create an elegant, arching silhouette. Pygmy Date palms offer dramatic texture with their gracefully arching fronds. Both are salt-tolerant — an important consideration for coastal St. Augustine properties.
St. Augustine's USDA Zone 8b–9a means occasional frost events. For cold-hardier palm options, Windmill Palm (Zone 7b) and Sago Palm (Zone 8) are your best bets. They'll survive our occasional freezes without the cold damage that tropical species like Areca may experience.
Don't have room for a towering palm? Pygmy Date Palm stays under 10 feet, Sago Palm grows very slowly, and Cat Palm forms a compact clump that works well in tight spaces or as a container plant on covered patios.
Want that classic Florida skyline look? Foxtail Palm and Fishtail Palm grow to 25–30 feet and create stunning vertical impact. These are statement trees that transform a flat Florida lot into something spectacular.
Sago Palm (technically a cycad, not a true palm) is beloved in formal and Japanese-inspired gardens. Its precise, symmetrical fronds create a sculptural look that pairs beautifully with gravel, stone, or coquina shell ground cover.

Buying palm trees for sale is just the beginning. Here's what you need to know about growing palms successfully in St. Augustine's climate:
Newly planted palms need deep watering 2–3 times per week for the first 6–8 weeks. Once established, most palms are drought-tolerant and thrive on our natural rainfall with supplemental irrigation during dry periods (November–May). Avoid overwatering — soggy roots kill palms faster than drought.
Use a slow-release palm fertilizer (8-2-12 with micronutrients including manganese and magnesium) 3–4 times per year. Never use general fertilizers high in nitrogen — this causes rapid but weak growth. Fertilize in spring, early summer, late summer, and early fall.
Apply 3–4 inches of coquina shell or organic mulch around the base of your palms — but keep it 6 inches away from the trunk. This regulates soil temperature, retains moisture, and suppresses weeds during establishment.
