Palm trees are a botanical family of perennial lianas, shrubs, and trees.
There are about 2600 species of palm trees.
Most palms are native to tropical and subtropical climates.
Palms thrive in moist and hot climates, however, they can be found in many different habitats. Their diversity is highest in wet, lowland forests.
Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem.
The lifespan of a palm tree is up to 100 years, depending on the species.
The trunk of a palm tree is the structure that holds the leafy vegetation above the ground. It is sometimes fleshy and at other times quite woody. But, it does not have classic bark. Size of the trunk is extremely variable, from less than 1.5 centimeters (half of an inch) in diameter to up to 1.2 meters (4 feet) in diameter. Trunk color is usually brown, gray or green.

Palm tree leaves are called fronds. Fronds are described as being either feather-leaved or fan-leaved. They have a spiral formation and are located toward the top of a palm tree at the tree’s crown.

The flowers grow on an inflorescence, a special branch just for carrying the great number of tiny flowers. The flowers are generally small and white, and are star-shaped. The sepals and petals usually number three each.
