Do palm trees have leaves or branches? <\/h2>\n

Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. The leaves of most palms are pinnate, with multiple leaflets arranged along a central rachis. However, some palms (e.g. the Washingtonia species) have palmate leaves, with the leaflets arranged around a central point. palms are generally found in tropical and subtropical climates, although some species (e.g. the Trachycarpus fortunei) are native to temperate zones.<\/p>\n

Did you know that palm fronds perform photosynthesis? Just like deciduous tree leaves, palm fronds give the tree the food it needs to live. Some palm fronds can last for five years or longer! They come in many sizes and shapes too. Some may be shaped like a large feather, others like large fans.<\/p>\n
