Hello all.. Ok, I have been thinking of start a small palm tree farm, and I'm looking for thoughts on this. I want everyones pro's and con's...... Oh here's a little more information. I'm thinking of buying an acre or so of land, having it cleared, put a fence up around it, have a well shot for irrigation, and start growing my trees. Ok.. let me hear it
It's a difficult way to make a living. If you're not already a member, check out the Central Florida Palm and Cycad Society http://www.plantapalm.com/centralfl/default.asp and of course the south and central Florida market for plants is doing badly due to the collapse of new housing construction. Also, since you're a bit far north, bear in mind that growers in areas like Loxahatchee and Homestead have better winter weather.
