About this collection
Palms for Streetscaping in the Middle East
Street planting asks a palm to hold a strong repeating outline without dropping anything heavy onto a footpath. Bismarckia nobilis, Copernicia baileyana, Livistona and Elaeis give the strong silhouettes, with Beaucarnea gracilis, Dioon mejiae, Cycas revoluta and Cryosophila warscewiczii for lower, more sculptural positions at junctions and entrances.
Street palms are specified by clear trunk height because that is what determines sightlines, signage clearance and pedestrian headroom, and it is the dimension most often left vague. Fix it in the schedule and inspect against it. See clear trunk height for how to write the line, and urban streetscape trees for the broadleaf trees that alternate with them.
