FUN FACTS
Palm trees are woody herbs that grow quickly, straight up, with narrow trunks and foliage at the top. Their life cycle typically involves germination, vertical growth, caliper growth, flowering, fruiting, and death. Factors that can impact a palm tree's lifespan include disease, pest infestations, and the environment. For example, diseases like Ganoderma or Fusarium wilt can be lethal. To help prevent disease and pest damage, you can regularly inspect your palm tree's fronds. If you planted the palm yourself, you can also keep track of its age manually by recording the year you planted it
Palm trees produce dozens of food items. There are coconuts, of course, but also an array of nuts, fruit, and even oil used in cooking.
Here are just a handful:
- Dates
- Coconuts
- Palm oil, which is used in an astounding number of foods, from ice cream to pizza dough, margarine, chocolate, and cookies.
- Saw palmetto berries
- Chilean palm wine, which is extracted from the sap in the trunk
- Betel nuts
- Snake palm fruit
- California fan palm fruit
- Guadalupe fan palm fruit
- Peach palm fruit
- Pindo palm fruit
