You would need to check each species you want to add to the mix to see how close it can be planted next to another based on root ball and amount of water it needs.
Hi Sheri 🌴!!! As you can imagine, the palms can vary greatly in heighth, as well as palm frond size. So there’s that to consider when planning (and your neighbors).
Do you have your forest laid out on paper? Then head to your favorite ‘tropicals, palms, ferns, etc ‘ nursery and let them give you an idea of what they look like, the cost, and the rootballs!!! See what they think-one may need a huge rootball, one small!
See if they can pull together a 5-piece sample for you and see if you like it 😎
The shorter the type, the closer they can be planted, but these are all really trees and need lots of space for their roots to grow deep and wide. The tallest types need as much space as an oak tree. I see you are in California, but your weather is as variable there as in Texas. I sure would consult the Dept. of Agriculture Extension Office in your part of the state to see if you are tropical enough to sustain the kind of palm garden you want. Best wishes ☺️

Such a nice response. Thank you. I love the palms in south Texas and the Florida Gulf Coast. ☺️
