The Old Man Palm or the Old Mans Beard Palm has a beard, that is until it's really old. I'm old and have lost my hair and so has my Palm (
here is a younger palm). My palm had a beard for 30 years and then it just fell off. This year I put some orchids on the trunk that will have a fountain of pink flowers every spring. All I can do is put on a hat.
