Default Double Stacked Cocos Palm

Hi Folks,
Here is an interesting Palm, Syagrus romanzoffiana, This one presents with adventitious roots.

This palm tree is a(CLASS) Angiosperma>Flowering plant> (SUBCLASS)monocot, It is only capable of primary growth,It grows from the shoot tips and root tips, The round dark scars on the trunk are leaf scars and the diameter of the trunk is directly related to the amount of water it recieves during the season.
