How to Measure Your Palm Tree
For best results, measure:
- Height: Total vertical distance you plan to wrap, starting from ground level.
- Diameter: Average trunk diameter (measure at mid-point if trunk tapers).
- Wrap Spacing: Distance between wraps. Typical palm wraps use 2" to 4" spacing depending on desired density.

1. How accurate is this calculator for palm trees?
This calculator was designed for vertical tree trunks, and works very well for palm trees when you input height, average diameter, and spacing. Measure carefully to get reliable estimates.
2. Should I measure the full palm tree height?
Typically, installers only wrap the lower visible trunk, not the full palm. Measure the portion you plan to wrap (often 8–20 feet).
3. What wrap spacing works best on palms?
2\"–4\" spacing is typical for palms. Tighter wraps provide a fuller, brighter look but require more lights. Consistency in spacing is key for a professional appearance.
4. What type of lights are recommended for palm wrapping?
We recommend using 100-count 5mm mini lights with 4-inch bulb spacing (33' length). Our commercial-grade coaxial sets provide the best performance outdoors.
5. Can I reuse lights year after year?
Yes — our professional mini lights are designed for repeated seasonal use with proper care, storage, and handling.
