How To Make Money Selling Palm Trees

Step 1

Check with your local zoning board to find out whether you can legally remove large trees in your area. Examine the vicinity of your large palm to see whether it is near any public utility wires. If so, do not move it because of the risk to life and limb if that tree accidentally falls and takes down a wire; select a different tree on your property.

Step 2

Call your local nursery or use online resources to identify what type of palm you have and how much it retails for. Use these resources to locate a local palm digger and find out how much it will cost you to have the palm dug up and moved to a new location.

Step 3

Advertise and let people know by word of mouth that you have a palm for sale. Start by placing a free ad on a site such as craigslist (see link in Resources section).

Step 5

Hire the palm digger once you have a buyer and complete the transaction.
