Palm trees always conjure up thoughts of tropical paradise, but they can take a lot time to maintain. Lighted Palm Trees, on the other hand do not take much to maintain and should achieve the same results. You can often find a lighted palm tree outside a night club, or outside a hotel to attract customers in the night.
With so many different manufacturers around, you can get lighted palm trees in almost any size to imitate different palm types and colors. As you can see from the pictures above, the most common colours are red, yellow, orange and blue. With some lighted palm trees, you can easily change the color of your tree by changing the color of the light bulb. Some trees are even fitted with a variety of different color lights and rope lights.

You can expect to spend anywhere from $50 for your very basic model (and perhaps at some second hand store) to several hundreds of dollars that includes everything from sand, hammock and realism. The major determinant of how much you will need to pay for this little luxury will be the height of the tree and detailing involved.
