| PALMS Palms are probably the most easily recognisable of trees and evocative of those exotic holidays where the white sandy beaches are fringed with Cocos nucifera, the coconut palm. Well, you won't be able to grow coconuts in your garden but there are plenty of palms that will thrive in our climate with a bit of attention to position and soil. Trachycarpus fortunei and Chamaerops humilis are two or the hardiest and the most easy to get hold of in the UK but there are many more worth a try.
