In temperate regions all over the world, palm trees are grown exclusively as interior plants. During summer time they may be placed outside for decorating balconies, gardens or parks. Palm trees which are grown in temperate regions usually come from tropical and subtropical regions.

There are over 80 different kinds of palm trees, each kind with lots of different species. Their trunk has the form of a cylinder, usually without branches. Palm trees are usually pretty high and they end with a bunch of long leaves, which can get as long as 5 or 6 feet in length. With age, leaves dry, leaving behind a series of scars on the trunk.
