Palm trees grow wild, mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. Two types of palms grow wild in Europe. The small date palm in the western Mediterranean (Chamaerops humilis). In Crete and sporadically along the southwestern coast of Turkey, an endemic species of Cretan date grows.

Palm trees are tree-like (sometimes shrub-like), often very tall plants, usually with an unbranched, stepped trunk. All the leaves are gathered in a large bud at the top of the tree, forming a tufted crown. The trees are covered with larger or smaller leaf scars. Some Asian species have thin, springy stems and grow like creepers.

The leaves are large, spirally arranged, fan-shaped, or pinnately divided.

Numerous flowers are collected in large flowers that most often emerge from the axils of the leaves. Initially, they were dressed in unique accessories, similar to a large leaf (spatha). The props are green, very rarely in any other color. Flowers are usually unisexual, sometimes bisexual, and plants are occasionally dioecious. Pollination is done by wind (anemogamy) and with the help of insects (entomogamy).

All of the above makes them very interesting for producing decorative items for the home.
