The difference between Hawaiian coconut and bamboo

1. Differences in plant types

Hawaiian coconut belongs to the palm family. It has a short plant shape, about 1-3 meters in height. The internal nodes are hollow and relatively slender. The upper segments are very obvious, and there are no branches on the stem.

The plant of Phoenix Tail Bamboo is relatively tall and belongs to the Arboraceae family. The plant is very tall, about 3-6 meters in height, with longer stem nodes and many branches.

2. Different leaves

The leaves of Hawaiian coconut are sparsely distributed, slender and feathery. There are relatively few leaves on a single branch, and the distance between leaves is relatively large.

The leaves of Phoenix Bamboo are densely distributed, narrow and long, and linear, and some are even needle-shaped, with a length of about 3.5-6.5cm and a width of about 0.4-0.7cm. There are many leaves on a single branch, and the leaf spacing is relatively small and they are relatively close together.

3. Different flowers

The flowers of Hawaiian coconut are usually pink and usually grow in the axillary part of the upper and middle part of the stem.

Phoenix bamboo can also bloom, but the color of the flowers is different, generally appearing in a light yellow color.
