Palm Tree

Palm Tree: (Arecaceae or Palmae) A family of flowering plants, most of which are restricted to tropical, subtropical and warm temperate climates. Only one species of palm tree, the California Fan Palm (Washingtonia filifera) is native to the state of California, but many other species have been introduced from around the world. Most palm species are well suited to California's sunny Mediterranean climate.

I took this photo of a palm tree in January in Sausalito.

This is a photo of a Queen Palm that I took in a yard near USF.
