Bottle palm has a large swollen (sometimes bizarrely so) trunk. It is a myth that the trunk is a means by which the palm stores water. Bottle palms have only four to six leaves open at any time.

Fruits of Hyphaene compressa (also called Gingerbread Palm) are produced after 30 years of maturation and can be harvested regularly every 6 months when the tree is between 40 and 50 years old. [3] The fruit is considered a drupe [ 10 ] and grows almost all year round, taking three to ten months to germinate. [ 9 ]
