Best Time to Plant Palm Trees in Dubai

If you are planning to buy a date palm for your villa, farm or project, the first question is usually the price. The truth is that the date palm price in UAE varies a lot, from small young plants to tall mature palms that need a crane to plant. In this 2026 guide, Al Qaswan Landscape explains what decides the price of a date palm, typical price ranges by size, and how to get the best value.

What decides the date palm price in UAE?

• Height and trunk size: the biggest factor. A tall palm with a thick trunk costs far more than a young plant.
• Variety: well-known fruiting varieties such as Khalas, Barhi and Medjool usually cost more than ordinary seedling palms.
• Male or female: fruiting female palms of a named variety are usually priced higher.
• Health and shape: a straight trunk, a full green crown and no pest damage add value.
• Delivery distance: delivery from the farm to your site in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or other Emirates affects the final price.
• Planting method: large palms need a crane, a team and sometimes road permits.

Supply only or supply and planting?

Many buyers compare only the palm price and forget the planting cost. A tall palm planted badly can lean, lose its crown or die, which costs much more than doing it right the first time. A supply and planting package usually includes delivery, pit preparation, sweet soil, crane planting, bracing and the first watering, so the palm is protected from day one.

How to get the best value when buying a date palm

• Ask for photos and the exact height of the palm before you pay.
• Check the crown is full and green and the trunk has no holes, which can be a sign of red palm weevil.
• Plant in spring or autumn for the best survival. Read our guide on the best time to plant palm trees in Dubai.
• Plan irrigation before the palm arrives.
• Book regular care. Our palm tree services include trimming, diamond cutting and pest control.
