Danny’s Palms

Palm trees palm trees palm trees! So many palm trees! Everywhere you look there are palm trees!
As the name suggests, Danny’s palms specialises in both growing and selling palm trees. Danny himself sells his palms out of a little caravan-​type stall located on the edge of his palm tree paddocks off Hobsonville Road in West Harbour. Although I’ve never bought one of his palms, nor do I really plan to — I have to admit it is pretty cool seeing that many of them in one place.
What jumps out at me the most about Danny’s palms is how cute and country it is. You just wouldn’t find something like it in central Auckland. Paddocks of trees, a tiny yellow caravan, the farmer actually selling his babies — it all has a really friendly, local, community vibe, and it’s great.
Danny’s palms also offer free landscaping advice, so if you’re planning on purchasing his trees, you may as well get his help with growing them and learn about what other plants and trees compliment the palms.
