    I bought this as a gift for someone. However, I got to look through the book and the photography is beautiful!

    I read about this book in a local newspaper and was dying to get my hands on it and I was not disappointed. I love palm trees and living in California (southern) we enjoy seeing many types. If you are looking for a reference book or field guide this is not it. It is a gem of a coffee table book that everyone who has sat on my couch has been tempted to thumb through.

  3. Reuven Zasler says:

    While “Palm Trees: A Story in Photographs” does not contain the detailed information that experts and amateur enthusiasts would refer to for guidance or research, it is an esthetic jewel of a book whose magnificent photos render it the perfect “coffee table” item for palm lovers everywhere.

  4. Lilly Lover says:

Silk palm trees work in offices, homes, restaurants and hotels since they're silk and need little, if any care. Adding a touch of nature to indoor decor is popular nowadays, and palm trees are being deployed in homes and businesses throughout the US. Silk palm trees appear as if natural palms, and all you have to do is buy it and bring it home. There is no caring about watering, trimming or fertilizing and no qualms about the tree getting too big for its location.

A silk palm tree has a fake trunk that act as a central support, an outside covering to camouflage the real material used for the trunk and detachable fronds. The fake trunk is affixed to a plane base that supports the total tree. silk palms are manufactured from a broad assortment of materials including plastic, canvas, steel, fiberglass and preserved palm. As an example, the fronds of some silk palms are produced with poly blend plastic that is durable in rough weather. The trunks are pressure-treated pine, making the palm look natural, but very inexpensive. Other trunk materials like steel or fiberglass cost more, do not retain the natural appearances of a live palm tree and have shorter a life. They are dug into the land or into a pot and will remain in direct contact with the earth for many years.

Silk palm trees are as varied as the natural plant with the palm type, foliage span, average trunk diameter, height and weight taken into consideration. As an example, an indoor royal coconut palm and a Polynesian palm alter from one another in that their trunks are made of timber and fiberglass respectively with diameters 7 and 9 ins. Silk palms can likewise be potted into containers similar to real trees. This can be done in a plastic pot by taping up the holes, mix weights for stone, brick or rock and then using expanding foam to cement the tree into the pot. After potting, the plant can be transferred into an ornamental container and your indoor plant is ready for display.
