The sugar palm is the national tree of Cambodia. These trees dominate the Cambodian landscape, and most of them grow in rice fields or thicker forest groves. The valuable by-products of the sugar palm include sugar, palm wine, seeds which can be eaten as dessert, timber, and the fronds, which can be used in weaving.
