Best 5 Palm Trees To Grow In Myrtle Beach
The most important thing a Myrtle Beach landscape contractor knows, of course, is that every client wants to utilize palm trees in their landscaping.
There are many clients who know what they want or like, but they often don’t know what kind of plant would grow best; and sometimes, it might not even be their favorite species.
In Myrtle Beach, there is a humid subtropical climate that is conducive to hot, hot summers and a relatively mild winter.
In light of the fact that palm trees can be an expensive item in your landscaping, you want to be sure you are getting the ones that are able to survive in our climate.
In fact, there are several species of palm trees which are quite attractive and which can be grown to a variety of heights.
My favorite plant to grow is the Chinese Fan Palm, also known as a Fountain Palm, which can be grown either indoors or outdoors.
I would recommend this palm because it is very hardy in colder temperatures, which is good for those rare cold days we’ve experienced here in Myrtle Beach over the last two years. Moreover, it is tolerant of drought conditions and it does well under both conditions.

You can use this species to remove carbon monoxide and restore freshness to the indoor air.

Christmas Fern
In your backyard, you can experience tropical flair with a vibrant touch of color.
It’s easy to find paradise in your landscape if you have multi-trunked Christmas palms planted in your yard or garden.
It’s easy to place yours in a container and bring it inside for the perfect accent piece, or you can place it outdoors on the porch or patio.
Planted in the ground, Christmas Palms grow between 10 to 20 feet tall, and only 5 to 10 feet wide. So they are able to fit almost anywhere.
Moreover, due to their compactness, they are easily installed around sidewalks and driveways, especially in tight, compact spaces. As far as I am concerned, this is a palm that won’t take over nor overgrow any area that it is in.
The crowns of these magnificent trees are large enough to create relaxing areas of shade under them, but their size is not excessive.
Depending on the location, they can be strategically placed around the pool, in the yard, or in the driveway to provide a cool source of relief from the heat.

This plants forms an impressive crown of lush foliage that covers the trunk and can reach a width of between six and ten feet.
Areca Palm
As a result of their resiliency to low light conditions and their ability to thrive in pots, Areca Palms are able to venture further north than any other palm.
Even if you live outside the recommended growing zones for the Areca Palm, you can simply plant the plants in containers during the colder months and bring them indoors during the warmer months.
As a bonus, when you have Areca Palms, you can breathe easy because they clean and filter the air.
By filtering the dry, stale air, they remove all of its pollutants and irritants and then pump it out as fresh, clean, and humid air.
The plants have dark, lush, green leaf blades at the top of every stem, adding a tropical touch to any room of the house.
