The palm family, also know as Palmae or Palmaceae, is a collection of flowering plants native to tropical and subtropical climates. In the United States, palms are found primarily along the gulf coast, southern Atlantic coast, Pacific coast, and Hawaii. Palm trees and plants have very distinct, feathery looking fronds. Due to their full foliage and rich, varied shades of green, artificial palm trees are a lovely decorative accent that can bring the warmth of the tropics indoors, year round.
While not officially a member of the palmae family, the cycas palm is named such for its lush yet airy fronds that taper elegantly into thin tips. A cycas has a stout trunk and relatively large diameter and works well as a floor plant or on a pedestal. Artificial cycas palm trees are available in a wide variety of decorative containers. And unlike low-quality, monochromatic artificial palm trees, cycas palms from evergreen direct have multi-hued leaves and stems that look very realistic.
Areca is a genus of over 50 palms that have long stems and are found in the lush tropical forests of Malaysia. The artificial dwarf areca palm has delicate, finely crafted stems that arc gracefully and fronds so realistic, you’ll have to touch them to believe it’s not a real plant. This silk artificial palm tree is a charming companion for a sofa, desk, or armchair.
