What Palm for what position?

I am often asked which palm is best suited for which situation.

I list below a summary of situations and suggestions for planting , these do not take into account hardiness which can be found in a separate article. 

Of course these are just guidelines, there is no accounting for the individuals own peculiar objective. A purist may want palms individually spaced as specimens , another wants a jungle look with everything crammed together, and another just want a palm or two to mingle with a more traditional garden. The list is designed merely to narrow down the choices so that the individual can choose between the most appropriate plants for his or her chosen situation.

Most of these palms can be found for sale on the Hardy Palms website
