Installation, materials & documentation
High-footfall schemes are engineered for bump contact: planter edges are chamfered, lower branch rings are fixed rather than free-hanging, and the crown is kept clear of sprinkler envelopes and wayfinding lines.
Large specimens are delivered knock-down with a rigging sequence and a lift plan for the contractor; the fire pack is formatted for a venue review committee that clears many decorative installations in one pass.

Ordering & Specification FAQs
What buyers ask when specifying king palms for airports and transit concourses — MOQ, lead time and this venue's requirements.
MOQ is project-based rather than per-SKU, and for king palms a single 4–8 m specimen is a realistic starting order — the canopy is fixed at 2.5–4 m unless you ask for a different crown. Quotation is built per tree and per project, so a single replacement palm and a full concourse scheme are both quoted the same way.
25–35 days for standard builds, and 45–60 days for custom builds. Lead time starts from approved drawings rather than from the enquiry. Crowns and trunks are packed separately and fronds are numbered for site assembly, so the assembly sequence has to be agreed with your crew before shipment.
Yes. Large builds are hoisted in manageable pieces through the finished space and assembled on site, with connection points hidden inside the structure.
Base-plate loading, anchoring method and connection details are issued as drawings, plus weld-inspection and load-test records for your authority.
Yes — 4–8 m, with the crown built to read correctly from upper floors and the fronds numbered at the factory so your crew can assemble the tree inside a finished building. Trunk finish, frond density and the base method are all drawn against your project; send the venue drawing and we return CAD options within 12 business hours.
