Bermuda Palm 2024
Bermuda Botanical Gardens Palm Collection.
The Bermuda Palm List 2024 is a beautifully curated visual catalogue showcasing the full range of palm species currently found across Bermuda. Designed as a quick‑reference guide, the document offers an at‑a‑glance overview of both native palms—such as the iconic Sabal bermudana—and a broad collection of introduced ornamentals that now shape the island’s gardens, hotel landscapes, and public spaces. Across four illustrated pages, the list presents over 60 palm species including well‑known favourites like Cocos nucifera, Phoenix canariensis, Bismarckia nobilis, Roystonea regia, and the ever‑popular Chrysalidocarpus and Livistonia varieties, all clearly laid out for easy identification.
Beyond the species names, the guide includes a helpful classification key that indicates sun requirements, growth habits (solitary or clustering), reproductive traits (dioecious or monoecious), rarity, size category, and wind tolerance—an essential feature for Bermuda’s weather‑exposed landscape. These symbols allow gardeners, landscapers, and plant enthusiasts to quickly determine which palms thrive best in certain conditions, making the document both practical and inspiring. With its clean format and comprehensive scope, the Bermuda Palm List 2024 stands out as an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding or cultivating palms on the island, from home gardeners to environmental professionals.
