The difference between palms and coconuts

1. Palms with different tree shapes are one of the most hardy palms in the world, with dense reticular fibers in their trunks, tall and straight trees and lush leaves, which are suitable for planting in tropical areas. Coconut leaves are 4-6 meters long, with many lobes, axillary inflorescences, hard seeds, rich in fiber, and high economic value. Palm trees with different uses are more adaptable and are often planted as greening trees, and can also be planted in the north, which is suitable for viewing in the four seasons.

2. growing in a warm and humid environment, coconut trees as we know them grow under the sunny coast. The leaves of palm trees are dark brown, much larger than those of coconut trees, like the shape of the palm; they have distinct trunk, and the flowers are small and yellowish; the ripe fruit is dark brown in color and is covered with white powder. The leaves of coconut trees are green and yellow, and the trunk is much higher than the trunk of palm trees.

3. The difference between the two palms and coconuts both belong to the palm family, but they are relatively small and small evergreen trees. Its leaves are palmately divided, the lobes are linear and the color is dark brown, while the leaves of coconut trees are slightly yellow in green. In addition, the two have different requirements on the growth environment. Palm trees have more tenacious vitality, do not have high environmental requirements for the soil, and can grow even if the environment is polluted.

4. Both palms and coconuts grow in the tropics and subtropics and belong to palms. There are significant differences in morphological characteristics, application value and growth habits between them. Differences in morphological characteristics: trunks: Palm trunks are stout and covered with woody scales or fibers; coconut trunks are relatively slender, smooth and characterized by internodes.

5. Different places of origin, different heights, etc. The difference between coconut trees and palm trees: there are different places of origin: coconut trees are mostly distributed in Asia and the coastal and inland areas of Africa and Oceania, while palm trees are native to China, on both sides of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and in countries such as Japan and India. Heights vary: coconut trees are usually taller than palms, reaching a height of 15-30 meters, while palms are relatively low, about 3-8 meters.

6. Appearance, fruit. Appearance: the trunk of the palm tree is cylindrical, there are no obvious branches, and the crown is umbrella-shaped or round. The trunk of the coconut tree is columnar, with obvious branches and a feathery crown. Fruit: the fruit of a palm tree is reniform or spherical, with a fibrous outer skin and a white membrane inside. The fruit of the coconut tree is spherical or oval, with a brown or black outer skin and a layer of white pulp and coconut water inside.

What's the difference between palm trees and coconut trees?

1. The leaves of different palms are dark brown, very large, palm-shaped as a whole, while the leaves of coconut trees are yellowish green and smaller as a whole. Different palms have very obvious trunks, all the leaves are around the trunk, and the trunk of coconuts is much higher than palms, obviously taller than palms.

2. Palms with different trunks: Palms are small evergreen trees belonging to the Palm family, with a height of 3 to 8 meters and leaf sheaths covered with dark exhausted fibers. Coconut trees: coconut trees are generally more than 25 meters high, with straight trunks, no branches and no vines. Betel nut tree: the stem is erect, treelike, more than 10 meters high, up to 30 meters high, with obvious annular leaf marks.

3. The difference between palm and coconut is that they have different leaves, different shapes and different families and genera. The leaves of different palms are dark brown, very large, palm-shaped as a whole, while the leaves of coconut trees are yellowish green and smaller as a whole.

The trunk of a palm tree is usually thicker and covered with woody scales or fibers, while the trunk of a coconut tree is slender, smooth, and has distinct internodes. Crown: the crown of a palm tree is usually fan-shaped or semicircular, with large and broad leaves arranged in a feather shape, while the crown of a coconut tree is conical, with leaves concentrated at the top and arranged spirally.

The trunk is different from the palm tree: Palm is a small evergreen tree with a height of 3 to 8 meters and a leaf sheath covered with dark exhausted fibers. Coconut trees: coconut trees are generally more than 25 meters high, with straight trunks, no branches and no vines. Betel nut tree: the stem is erect, treelike, more than 10 meters high, up to 30 meters high, with obvious annular leaf marks.
