Being a lovely Texas native, Texas Palmetto Palm is very popular in the southern USA. It is also one of the most widespread palms in Mexico. Its stem, when not maintained, retains the old leaves for some time, and then the leaf bases remain in a characteristic boots pattern. It has 15 – 30 strongly costapalmate leaves 4.9 – 5.9 ft wide that divide ...

It has weakly costapalmate leaves up to 4 ft long, usually longer than the leaf stalk, and has a short hastula. Leaves are divided down to about ⅓ of their total length into about 40 leaf segments. It has small yellowish-white flowers in large compound...
The Saw Palmetto Palm is an unusual palm with highly branched stems, extremely rare among palms.

The Windmill Palm is a single-stemmed fan palm that has been widely cultivated in China and Japan for thousands of years.

Its trunk is rough-looking, with hairy b...
The Chinese Fan Palm is a medium-sized tree with a rounded crown of fan-shaped leaves. Its brown or gray trunk is coarse with remnant tissues of old leaf stalks. It has 40 – 60 costapalmate leaves on leaf stalks up to 6 ft long that are slightly arching and may or may not have spiny teeth on the lower half. The leaves appear very soft, with narrow ...
Needle Palm is a small clumping palm made of several short stems that grow very close together in a dense base. Most of the stem is covered in a thick mat of fibers that hide numerous long needle-like spines, so be careful! It has lush green 6.6 ft long leaves that are divided almost to the base, making it look palmately compound with 8 – 16 leafle...
The Bismarck Palm is unique for its striking foliage. It has stiff, waxy costapalmate leaves in a very intensely steel-blue to gray-green color. Once you see its leaves, you will always know the Bismarck Palm. The leaves are up to 9 ft wide and rounded in their outline.
