The older leaves enclose the trunk and the younger leaf stems. First the leaf stems grow out and the leaf is against the stems, after which the leaf opens. The leaf surface is often shiny and covered in wax, or pleated. This prevents dehydration. The leaf stem is often covered with spines or thorns.

Young palms don't bloom. This only happens after a number of years (in some species after a year or five, with others only after 50 years). Most palms bloom annually, but there are also species that die after flowering such as real sagopalm and the parasol range palm, which has the largest flowering in the whole plant kingdom. The flower is unobtrusive and the pollination usually happens through the wind, but in some species by insects. The flowers are usually on a bunch. The life span of the flowers is short and rarely lasts longer than one day. The flowers can be cumbersome or two-hearted.

Best 5000 years ago, a palm variety was cultivated for the first time. This happened with the date palm in the Middle East. There is a wide variety of palm species and even genera. There is also a wide variety in the products of the palm. Edible fruits include the awarra, date, coconut, moriche, palm peach and salak. Palm oil is used for food preparation, soap and as fuel. Palms also supply materials for household items, such as rattan for a carpet beater and coconut fiber for a coconut mat. Less known are products such as sugar from the sugar palm, soap from the coconut and palm hearts. The indigenous population often has many more applications.
