The Sugar Palm tree (borassus flabellifer), or the Asian Palmyra palm, is one of Cambodia’s national icons. These trees are not hard to miss (from afar they look like cute pompom heads on a stick) as they are found all throughout Cambodia, especially in the countryside.
Just like the Philippines’ very own coconut tree, the sugar palm tree plays a very important role in providing a source of food, income, and not to mention as a source of building materials, to Cambodians.
