palm frond

Coconut tree blade

A palm frond is a leaf of a palm tree—typically large, fan-shaped or feather-like, growing from the crown of the trunk.

Palm fronds appear in religious and cultural contexts: waved during celebrations, used for thatching roofs, or laid before arriving dignitaries.

Palm fronds littered the beach after the storm.
