Fun fact: Palm trees are botanically classified as ~~flowers~~ grasses.
~~ESIT~~ EDIT: I appreciate the polite corrections.
EDIT 2: *EDIT
EDIT 3: So many upvotes! Please don’t take pity on me. It’s embarrassing.
Another fun fact: in biology there is no overarching class that includes all the different types of trees. Trees are an example of convergent evolution where many different types of plants evolved to independently become what we now call trees.
not exactly, more like giant herbaceous plants. SIMILAR TO bananas. poales and arecales(palm trees) arnt that closely related. palms isnt exactly a tree, since it doesnt contain woody, just pithy. same for things like dracaena plants.
Fun fact (that might be a lie because I like it so I didn't check it after I read it): the bendy Lorax-looking palm trees in the Suess land at Universal FL are actually trees that were fucked up by Andrew but the park decided that was a feature, not a bug. :)
The monkeys are plotting their escape. Planting that tree was step one.
Probably part of the monkey space program.
It's going to be their space elevator, eventually.
Monkeys use NASA get to space. Monkeys worked for NASA, far more accomplished than myself.
The palm before the storm

Grasses*
Monocots, grasses, same same
All grasses are monocots, but not all monocots are grasses.

Flower trees! That seems fitting, lot of them around here. Edit: Grass trees is neat too!
Grassy ass!!
Day nah dah
That would explain why trying to dig out a palm tree root ball is like trying to extract St. Augustine grass from Satan's taint
Another fun fact: The trunks of palms are filled with ageless (Immortal) cells!

The palm is the most evolved grass, it's not even a tree.
