A palm tree is monotcotyledonous plant, hence do not have primary cambium in the vascular bundles of stem. However, with age the tree grows in diameter. A secondary cambium may be formed in the hypodermal region of the stem. The later forms the conjuctive tissue and patches of meristematic cells. The activity of meristematic cells results in the formation of secondary vascular bundles.
