When is the best time to plant palm trees?

Here in the San Joaquin Valley, you can plant palm trees any time of the year if it is already in a container, such as a five or fifteen gallon wood box. If you plan on digging one out of the ground, however, it is best to wait until spring or summer. Most plants like the warmer weather and you will have a better chance that the tree will survive.

What are your fountains made of?

Most of the fountains we sell at C.L.S. Imports are made of cast concrete. There are some made of fiber glass and also resin, however. The fiber glass and resin fountains will not last as long as the concrete, and may tip or blow over more easily, but they are not as heavy and easier to move around. Their for they will tip over or blow over easier than concrete.
