Ornamental Palm: Exquisite Beauty of Landscape with Immense Entrepreneurial Avenues
47 / 61
Abstract
Palm is among nature’s most handsome gifts, drawing the interest of landscapers, interior designers, amateurs, and plant lovers for their bold textures, symmetrical foliage, uniformity, diverse growth habits, and adaptability. These plants make dramatic statements in landscapes, whether as majestic specimens filling skylines or sculptural focal points in multitrunk clusters. Besides their aesthetic appeal, palms offer economic value for nurserymen and contribute to the scenic beauty of any setting. Ranging from miniature to tall robust varieties, palms are commonly grown in pot culture. Miniature and variegated palms are particularly favoured for landscaping and interioscape. Their monetary value surpasses many other ornamental plants, as they require years of cultivation from seed to reach mature sizes suitable for residential and commercial landscapes. As popular containerized plants, palms enhance both indoor and outdoor environments and hold vast entrepreneurial potential. Specialized palmetums (singular: palmetum) are being established to supply these valuable plants, which also purify and soothe the environment.
