How does the traveler's palm hold water?

The traveler's palm has very deep roots in folklore and tradition. Have you ever wanted to have your very own wishing well? The traveler's palm may be just the plant for you! It is said, "If a traveler stands directly in front of a traveler's palm and makes a wish in good spirit - that wish will definitely come true." The traveler's palm gets its name from the fact that thirsty travelers could find stores of water in many parts of the plant including the leaf folds, flower bracts and inside each of the hollow leaf bases each of which may hold up to one quart of water! Although not a true palm, the traveler's palm is considered one of the most striking and unique trees in nature. It is perfect for that special accent in your tropical landscape.

What is it called when you trim a royal palm tree?

In 99% of cases you cannot trim the height of a palm tree without killing it. Palms are moncotyledonous, this means they have one growth point or apical bud; this is located in the centre of the fronds and produces the new fronds. If this is damaged the plant cannot grow any more and will eventually die. You do however also get "clump-forming" plams, in this case the taller plants can be removed and the smaller ones left to grow up and replace the ones removed
