Palm TreesPalm TreesThe mention of palm trees immediately brings to mind images of long afternoons by the beach with the gentle swishing of fan-shaped leaves as they sway in the sea breeze. Palm trees are indeed found in coastal regions and in tropical climates. But did you know that there are at least 2500 species of palms in the world, and that a good number of them can be grown in our homes? You can grow palm trees in your backyard like more and more people are opting to do. The palm tree's ability to withstand extreme temperatures and their obvious tropical charm has made them favorite backyard plants in many less-urban parts of the United States. Palm trees are best described as tall trees with the leaves and the fruits crowning over their long trunks. Belonging to the scientific family called Palmae or Arecaceae, they are mainly identified by the fan or feather-like leaves they sport. Most of the palm trees in the United States are cold hardy and are found in mainly southern California, Florida and Mexico. The hardiest palm trees that can withstand extreme winters are found much further north. Widely used for ornate decorations, many species of palm trees are now commonly found in the United States and are not native to the country. They have been imported from different countries and naturalized. For example, the Chinese Fan Palm, the Brazilian Queen Palm and the Triangle Palm from Madagascar, are now found in Florida. Though there are drought hardy palms and cold hardy palms, cold hardy palms are best suited to American climatic conditions. Needle palms, Mediterranean fan palms and Butia palms, can withstand temperatures as low as -25 degree Celsius and -12 degree Celsius and thrive in American homes and farms.

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.
