Small Palm Trees

I get a lot of questions about Small Palm Trees. Small Palm Trees, also called Dwarf Palm Trees, are great for the front yard of the house because they are easier to maintain and they don't abstract the view. I think that Small Palm Trees under 20 feet are great for small-scale gardens. There are thousands of palm tree species but I'll list only most popular small palm trees that you can buy at the most local nurseries.
