Railway goods, nationwide

Palms over four feet travel by Pakistan Railways goods service. It is the only network that takes the height and weight, and the cost per tree drops sharply once you are ordering more than one. You collect from the goods office and we send the consignment number.

Our own transport in Punjab

Within Punjab we bring palms on our own vehicle and put them in the ground for you — positioned, planted and staked. That matters more than it sounds; a badly handled root ball is how most transplanted palms die.

Twelve-month establishment guarantee

On any palm we deliver and plant ourselves, if it fails to establish within twelve months we replace the tree. Palms we deliver for you to plant carry the standard seven-day arrival guarantee.

Why palms go by rail

A courier will not take a palm. A coach cargo hold will take one up to about four feet and then stop. Above that, Pakistan Railways goods service is the only network in the country that will move the height and the weight at a price that makes sense.

Palms are lifted with the root ball intact, wrapped in hessian, and the crown is tied up so the fronds cannot catch and tear in transit. They travel dry — a wet root ball in a closed wagon for four days is how palms arrive rotten — and they are watered heavily the moment they are planted.

We book the consignment, send you the number and the expected arrival, and you collect from the goods office. For anything above eight feet, or for orders of ten palms or more, it is usually cheaper for us to bring them on our own truck. Ask and we will price both.

  • Root ball lifted intact and wrapped in hessian
  • Crown tied so fronds cannot tear in the wagon
  • Consignment number sent the day it is booked
  • Planting instructions specific to the species and your soil

Choosing a size

Height is measured from the top of the root ball to the tip of the tallest frond.

Prices are for the plant at the nursery. Delivery is quoted separately for anything over four feet, because it depends entirely on where it is going.

Planting more than a few?

Avenue plantings, housing schemes and green belts are quoted at trade rates, and the delivery cost per palm falls sharply with volume — a single palm to Quetta is expensive, twenty is not.

Tell us the quantity, the size, the destination and roughly when you need them, and we will come back with a delivered price and a realistic date.
