Palm trees are everywhere in Florida. I love trees so these caught my interest. These are called Coconut Palms. They grow about 50 ft tall and 25 ft wide. As the tree grows the old leaves fall off and scars are left.
It does look like the leaves are cut off but, they just rot and break off. I call these scales. They will eventually fall completely off.
You can see here where the leave has broken off and where the "scales" have fallen off leaving still a rough "fuzzy" ring. The "fuzzy" ring eventually falls off. I could easily just rub it off. Anyway, the trunk will finally be smooth.
