Party it Up With the Christmas Palm Tree Bring a touch of the tropics home with the easygoing Christmas Palm. This compact, graceful palm forms a smooth gray trunk topped with a lush crown of long, arching green fronds. Around the holidays, it puts on a show with clusters of bright red berries—right on cue for the festive season.
