That palm tree in your garden is no doubt adding a kind of tropical elegance to your backyard.
Palm trees have been cultivated in human dwellings for thousands of years. One reason is that they can thrive in a variety of climates though they are more abundant in tropical and sub-tropical climates. Some species have been found to flourish in below-zero degree regions.
