Our Bottle Palms, or Beaucarnia Recurvata, is one of the items on sale until March 15th.
Instant Jungle is more than just a nursery. We provide unusual and hard-to-find plants for our customers, especially those that need landscaping for large residential, commercial or resort projects. At Instant Jungle, we like to carry plants that suit residential backyards as well as those that can be placed immediately into a new hotel’s pool landscaping.
. To the naked eye, many of these plants look identical, especially the bamboo species. What makes them different?
As we discussed in a previous blog about bamboo and living screens, there are two major types of bamboo: “running bamboo,” or Phyllostachys aurea; and “clumping bamboo,” or Bambusa. Clumping bamboo is better for planting directly into the soil, where running bamboo needs some sort of root barrier to keep it contained within its designated area in the landscaping. It will still create a beautiful bamboo grove.
Besides being “runners” or “clumpers,” each of these different bamboo types have different colorways and maximum growth heights. Please click on the name of the plant below to read the description of each of the plants to see if they are a right fit for your landscaping.
Still not sure? Please feel free to contact us at Instant Jungle for information, recommendations and pricing. All of these plants featured here are only available as supplies last, so call us for information on specific quantities. We’re here to help!

Kentia Palm Trees
Instant Jungle is half-way through one of our most recent projects out in a Newport Coast property. The plant selection process started early during this particular project; the owner, architect and landscape contractor all decided that it would be best to bring in the giant palm trees before they started any other construction. This way, the crane used to carry in the palms would have a completely clear path during transportation. On a recent beautiful and sunny Saturday morning, the architect and one of the homeowners came to Instant Jungle’s Santa Ana location and hand selected some Kentia Palms for the property. Before Instant Jungle shipped out the palms, we quickly pulled them aside at the nursery for a final approval and inspection.
48-Inch Box Double-trunk Kentia Palm Ready to Ship!
We will be updating as this project progresses, so keep checking back at Instant Jungle’s blog for more news.
Instant Jungle is a full-service retail and wholesale nursery offering a wide selection of exotic and tropical plants, bamboo species and palm trees as well as many traditional indoor and outdoor plants. If you need new landscaping material or if you are simply looking for something to spruce up your living room, Instant Jungle will have something for you.

We concluded 2010 with a project for an exclusive, beautiful property overlooking the entire Newport Beach Harbor. The main component of the project was to line both sides of the property entrance’s perimeter with one of our unusual temperate bamboo species. We also provided two perfectly matched 30’ Phoenix Canariensis palms on each side of the main front entrance foyer. On top of all that, we provided and assisted with the installation of some very fragile (and pricey!) aloe species.
We transported and lifted the pieces by using a 90-ton crane. It was a tedious process but Instant Jungle made it work.
Strapping in the plants without damaging them was the most challenging aspect of this project. Instant Jungle successfully transported all the pieces without hurting a single leaf!
Like moving pieces of art, these plants all required very delicate and meticulous maneuvering. With our years of experience and expertise, we were able to carefully mobilize and install all the pieces without damaging a single stem. So how did we manage to do this? By transporting everything via a 90-ton crane! Moving the pieces was easy—it was the bracing and rigging each plant onto the crane that was the most challenging part of all.
To top off our year, Michael Dilley from MDZA Landscape Architecture, one of Instant Jungle’s most prominent clients, sent us the following heartwarming thank you note:
