The palm trees form an independent botanical group consisting of several thousand species, whose woods differ in principle from the conifers and hardwoods. They belong botanically to the grasses and resemble the bamboo plants in the construction. In the case of the palm, there is only sapwood, no growth zones and branches and, unlike the conifers and hardwoods, the inner area is always brighter than the outside area. Due to the extreme hardness, the palm wood is very resistant and durable. As a veneer, the palm is due to its extraordinary structure used for modern designs, e.g. furniture, parquet, wall and ceiling cladding.
