Cocos nucifera — wholesale stock for South Florida landscape contractors.
Cocos nucifera
No palm is more synonymous with South Florida and the tropics than the Coconut Palm. Its gracefully arching trunk and feathery fronds are instantly recognizable and remain one of the most requested plants by homeowners seeking a true tropical landscape experience. For landscape contractors, Coconut Palms represent a premium spec that commands strong margins on residential projects.
Heritage Farms carries Coconut Palms for landscape contractors serving coastal and inland South Florida properties. Given their strong association with the region's character, they are particularly popular on waterfront, resort, and high-end residential projects.
