About these webpages

www.scanpalm.no is developed and administered by Thomas Vestre (Norway). Because of an increasing interest for growing exotic plants outdoor in Scandinavia, there has become a certain need for information. These webpages will try to cover some of this need by contribute informative and interesting reading about different palm species, which can be grown or should be tested, outdoor in Scandinavia. The webpages contains also good advises and tips ranging from winter protection to right fertilization.

All text on these webpages has been written down as a result of long-term studies and observations. I wish to remind about that the conclusions, which have been drawn about where the different palms can grow, only must be seen as guidelines, since locale variations in the climate can be huge.

Thomas Vestre has no official or professional education concerning palms or botany. The pages are a result of a hobby.
