===  How to Recognize the Age of a Palm ===
Recognizing the age of a palm is not a problem that needs to be solved, but the range of development that this plant shows can mislead someone. This is seen by the palms that are twenty to thirty feet tall that are twenty to thirty years old compared to others that are five feet tall, yet are the same age.  
Recognizing the age of a palm is not an unsolved problem, but the plant's range of development can be misleading. This is seen by the palms that are twenty to thirty feet tall and twenty to thirty years old, compared to others that are five feet tall and the same age.  
It is said that the palm lives for two to three centuries, and it grows in the Memfi region as high as eighty to one hundred feet. To know a Palm's true age, one does not count the number of GERIT cuts as many believe, but rather (in general) four cuts, one on top of the other, equals one year, since around there are so many cuts around the plant.
