A nursery is a place where plants are propagated and grown to usable size.

They include retail nurseries which sell to the general public, wholesale nurseries which sell only to businesses such as other nurseries and to commercial gardeners, and private nurseries which supply the needs of institutions or private estates.

The Arecaceae are a botanical family of perennial climbers, shrubs, acaules and trees commonly known as palm trees (owing to historical usage, the family is alternatively called Palmae).

They are flowering plants, a family in the monocot order Arecales.

Currently 181 genera with around 2600 species are known, most of them restricted to tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate climates.

Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem.

However, palms exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts.

In botany, a tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting branches and leaves in most species.

In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, including only woody plants with secondary growth, plants that are usable as lumber or plants above a specified height.

Trees are not a taxonomic group but include a variety of plant species that have independently evolved a woody trunk and branches as a way to tower above other plants to compete for sunlight.

In looser senses, the taller palms, the tree ferns, bananas and bamboos are also trees.

Trees tend to be long-lived, some reaching several thousand years old.

The tallest known tree, a coast redwood named Hyperion, stands high.

Trees have been in existence for 370 million years.

It is estimated that there are just over 3 trillion mature trees in the world.

The term cultivar most commonly refers to an assemblage of plants selected for desirable characteristics that are maintained during propagation.

More generally, cultivar refers to the most basic classification category of cultivated plants governed by the ICNCP.

Most cultivars have arisen in cultivation, but a few are special selections from the wild.
