Palm trees are synonymous with tropical beaches, warm sunny climates, and beautiful landscaped gardens. Palms are recognized by their fan-shaped or feather-like fronds (leaves) and fiber-covered trunks or stems. Most types of palms, such as date palms and coconut palms, grow in warm climates. Some of the best palms for growing outdoors in pots include the areca palm, European fan palm, pygmy date palm, and the lady palm. These palms grow just as well in pots as they do in the ground.
