Dubai's soil and weather allow the Palm Tree to flourish and you find scores of them dotting the city! I was told the these trees are grown and planted is an art form by itself.
In the infancy stage when the branches are growing, the trees are wrapped around. Water and other growth related stuff (:P) is then added into it from the top. Since it's wrapped tightly, the branches grow upwards. After a certain period, the wrapping is taken off and the branches fan out like the one above. If the tree isn't wrapped or unwrapped at the right time, the branches either sag too low or they remain pointing straight up.
