Palm Trees Offer A Tropical Touch

By: Jane Smithston Home | Home-and-Family | Landscaping-Gardening


When you think about palm trees you immediately think of an island with fresh sand, icy blue water and beautiful palm trees. Being the pretty trees they are they seem to bring peace. Some people have them growing in their big gardens and they look amazingly exquisite there too. It's like when you think of happiness you think tall palm trees blowing in the wind.

They grow mostly in coastal regions where it is warm and there is a lot of sunshine. They are more likely to be found near water but they may also grow in deserts. The leaves of a palm tree might remind you of a big feather, just green. It's mainly just a big trunk with no leaves until you get to the top where all the leaves are. They also produce fruits called coconuts. This is why if someone happens to get deserted on an island somehow (like in the movies) they will not starve because most islands have palm trees.

The coconut is spherical in shape and is brown in color. These fruits are hollow therefore they are able to float on water. They are able to float on the water for a long period of time but after that the salt of the sea water will have destroyed the seed.

If you are thinking of planting a palm tree in your garden or you have just discovered that there is already a small one growing, there are ways for you to care for it to ensure that it grows into a beautiful healthy tree. It is easy to grow a palm tree, all they really need is good soil and lots of water, but be careful not to over water it or it will die. Just give it a fair amount of water every three days and your plant will be well on its way!
