Palms

Palms are considered as trees although they are botanically different. If you observed their growth, appearance, and care is different from trees. As you can see, palms have a single truck (like coconuts) although some grow as clustering or clumping palms (like fishtails).

We can locate palm’s single growing point at the top of its truck. And this point is called the terminal bud. The palm may die of the terminal bud is injured. Unlike those trees, the roots of the palm do not thicken. Thus, palms are less likely to damage sidewalk and utilities. Palms do grow in well-watered zones. They can enhance many landscapes if they are handled with proper care.
