Palm trees are plants with un-branched trunks and large, evergreen leaf formations
pinnate or palmate leaves (the leaf shape is characterised with the following:
- Pinnate leaves = having leaflets on each side of a common axis i.e. Canary
Island Date Palm, Butterfly Palm, Kentia Palm
- Palmate leaves = having more than three leaflets arising from a common
point, often in the form of a fan) i.e. Chinese Windmill Palm, Dwarf Palm
Historical & Geographical information: Palms can be traced back approximately
80 million years and yet have changed little. Palms used to be symbols for
concepts like peace, victory and fertility due to their importance in early
civilization. There are over 2,500 species of palm trees worldwide existing
in a vast array of habitats the majority are found in the rainforests and
jungles located in the tropical regions (Central & South America, Africa,
Asia) and sub tropical regions (which cover every continent except Antarctica).
