palmtree

Oasis shade source

A palm tree is a tropical or subtropical tree with a tall, unbranched trunk crowned by large fan-shaped or feather-shaped leaves.

Palms are associated with warm climates, beaches, and paradise imagery.

The single-word spelling palmtree is less standard than the two-word palm tree but appears in casual writing and compound forms.
