Palm Trees

Yes, definitely. Houston is a subtropical climate (USDA zone 9) and has very mild winters that allow for more stereotypically warm weather vegetation. The Sabal Minor, the Sabal Texana and the Sabal Brazoria are all native to the area. Many other non native varieties of palm are frequently grown in the area such as Washingtonia robusta (Mexican Fan Palm) and Washingtonia filifera (California Fan Palm)

Some species of palm trees are poisonous. The fruit like substance that surround the seeds of certain species can be toxic. For Example: FoxTail palm seed resemble a peach when they are rype and ready. The fruit like substance is indeed poisonous and can be deadly to dogs.

sabal palm tree was never named from before

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

Sometimes they do. The main reason why it doesn't happen that often is that compared to the average tree the palms lose their leaves much easier than a tree loses its branches. And once the leaves have gone there isn't much left to catch the wind.

The palm tree also has a very flexible trunk and shallow-yet-regenerative root system as compared to a more "sturdy" tree such as an oak. This allows the palm to bend and sway with the wind. The shallow, thinner roots allow a palm to be blown down and quickly rebuild a root structure again.

If you've ever seen a palm on a beach, you'll notice that many of them begin at the ground growing sideways for a small length and then the trunk grows upward from there. This is usually where a palm has been blown over and rooted the tree where it has fallen sideways. The tree then grows upward from there.

This will be a state called anemea or generally called anemic. It is the lack of nutrients the tree is getting. Generally in orange they are not getting enough manganese. This is all dependant on how the leaves are turning yellow though. A trained arborist like myself would have no problem letting you know if he saw the leaves.

It is possible, and it isn't possible. It would be nice to know exactly what tree it is that you are talking about, but there is a 99% chance that it will lose its leaves. Some trees never lose their leaves, though.

No, not all trees lose their leaves. Some trees their leaves all year round. They are called evergreens because they are always, or forever, green. They include spruces and pines, as well as cedars and firs.

View the related link below for more information on evergreen trees.

Depends on the species of palm. Species such as the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) can live up to 80 years, and the Canary Island Palm (Phoenix canariensis) to at least 120 years.

Some other species will only live a few years, such as the Bamboo palm (Chrysalodocarpus), which is multi-stemmed, each stem only survives for about 4 years before dying and being replaced by new stems.

Yes, they are the same thing. The coconut palm tree is a generic name for the palm tree species. There are many kinds of coconut palm trees, but the most famous ones are known as the Malayan Coconut Palm Tree and its Scientific name, or botanical name, is Cocos nucifera.

I placed a link below that talks about the Malayan Coconut Palm Tree in more detail.

No, they are fairly short, but they have roots that expand some length that are mainly for support for the tree. If you look at a Palm being transported, you can see that they are fairly short.

No. Palm trees are found in tropical areas, while parts of the arctic are part of the tundra biome.

In Kannada, we call it Kamala.

Palm trees are multicellular

There are a large number of palms growing in Australia, many native, including the Foxtail Palm, Coconut Palm and the Kentia Palm (native to Lord Howe Island, between Norfolk Is and NSW).

In some area of the world, bamboo is a common rainforest plant, though it is not a tree, but the world's largest grass.

Other smaller plants which are not trees include ferns, mosses, fungus and lichen, epiphytes such as orchids, bromeliads and various species of vines.

Coconuts

Acai berries

Jelly Palm fruits

Saw Palmetto berries

Various types of dates

People also eat the part they call the "palm hearts"

there are over 1100 species of mainly tropical palms.

Not very many. To an islander, they think of a Norfolk Pine, Cooks Pine or Japanese Matsu as pines. As a homeowner, I planted both Monterrey and Slash pines in my backyard on O`ahu, and they did quite well.

Florida, California, Utah, Nevada, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina, ,Virginia (Virginia Beach), Texas, Hawaii, North Carolina, Arizona, and New Mexico. Florida, California, and Hawaii are the states with the most palms. In Florida, they are native and everywhere, same with Hawaii. In California they are mostly grown, but that's all you see there.

Bananas are not palms at all, but a related species, so they do not count. Coconuts, Dates, Acai, Saw Palmetto, and other edible/medicinal fruits are grown on palms. Not every palm sets tasty fruit or fruit that is safe to eat! So please, do not go around picking the fruits off palms if you are unsure of the specific species. You wouldn't want to end up in the ER!

By saying cutting down indicates that you are killing the palm. You can cut down the palm with a machete or chainsaw.

Pruning is something different then cutting down. Pruning is when you take a machete, chainsaw, or whatever you got with a sharp edge, and you trim off the leaves from the trunk or crown. By pruning, you sometimes can help the palm tree's growth and sometimes you can stunt the growth, so be careful!
