Buying palm trees in Portugal

Posted by palmlover (My Page) on

I will be buying a house on the Silver Coast above Lisbon next year after re-locating from East Sussex, England,
where i have several large potted palms, cordylines and phormiums in my garden. Is it possible to buy these architectural plants in Northern Portugal or should i take them with me? If they are available, are they reasonably priced?

Palm trees are probably the most sought after and popular trees at the moment here and just about any new build boasts a couple... All garden centres that I know of carry quite a few different ones. Phormiums are also relatively easy to come by , just not so sure about cordylines, but I'm sure larger garden centres will carry them as well. I'm not familiar with garden centres in the Silver Coast, since I live in a different part of the country, but I suspect they will carry them as well, as there are surprisingly few differences in what's offered for sale in centres around my area of residence, a trend I believe to be the same across the country.

Of course, if you have rare specimens and/or plants with a sentimental value attached to them, it would pay off to bring them with you, otherwise I wouldn't bother.

Hope this helps
Eduarda
