fan palms

Tropical leafy trees

Fan palms are palm trees whose leaves spread out in a fan shape from the stem, rather than forming feathery fronds.

The leaves radiate from a central point like fingers from a palm.

Common species include the California fan palm and the Chinese fan palm.

The fan palms along the boulevard created a distinctly tropical atmosphere.
