"Their uses become much more diverse when you pay attention to the forms they can take." For example, a slow-growing Chinese fan palm (
Livistona chinensis) creates stunning eye-level foliage in cooler climes; in the temperate San Francisco Bay Area, it adds just a few inches of height per year.

No obstante, existen especies de palmas de gran altura en los generos Acrocomia, Attalea,

In Indonesia, O'Brien and Kinnaird (1996) demonstrated that an increase in the intensity of leaf harvesting reduces subsequent production of leaves by
Livistona rotundifolia (Lam) Mart.
Kalshoven (1981) mentioned this species but regarded it as a minor pest of coffee, cinchona, tea, cotton, citrus and the palm
Livistona sp.
These covered the genera Pteris (Adiantaceae) Asplenium (Aspleniaceae) Aglaonema Alocasia Caladium Dieffenbachia Monstera and Philodendron (Araceae) Schefflera (Araliaceae) Oxalis (Oxalidaceae) and Licuala Kentia
Livistona (Arecaceae).
