palm tree

The term '棕榈树' refers to a type of tree that typically has a tall, unbranched trunk and a crown of large, fan-shaped or feather-like leaves at the top. Palm trees are commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions, and they are valued for their aesthetic appeal as well as for the fruits and products they can provide, such as coconuts and dates. In Chinese culture, palm trees are often associated with warmth and relaxation.
