No, palm trees do not need salt water.

Specifically, palm trees are salt water tolerant. This makes it possible for them to live closer to the ocean than any other tree. But at the same time and as in the case of all trees, palms need fresh water in order to take in necessary nutrients.

About 2% of freshwater fish change to a saltwater environment sometime in their life, but this change happens gradually and they would most likely die if put suddenly into a saltwater environment.
