Species #4

Scientific Name: Arecaceae or Palma
Common Name: Palm tree
Many common products and food are derived from palm. Palm trees are also widely used in landscaping for their exotic appearance making them one of the most economically important plants. Also symbols for idea as victory, peace and fertility.
I believe that Palm trees are domesticated because they are in many people's yards where the climate is ideal for them. Many parts of Arizona have palm trees because they like hotter temperatures. We have several of them in our yard. So the population of palm trees by way of selection have been domesticated.
