Palm House

The most advanced glasshouse under the sun

All our biomes/geodesic domes can accommodate palm trees as they are taller than conventional glasshouses. They have excellent ventilation and good air circulation. Our SD Retreat regularly hosts banana plants and all types of palm trees; a veritable Garden of Eden.

The SD Retreat is 3.4m tall and the SD Sanctuary is 3.8m tall in the centre. Smaller trees like citrus fruits can even be positioned around the outer edge of the domes.

"The hemispherical dome shape of the SOLARDOME® glasshouse is the ideal architectural form for a greenhouse [glasshouse]. The angle of incidence and orientation to the sun are perfect at all hours of the day and at all seasons of the year."
