The Manila palm (scientific name: Adonidia merrillii), also known as the Christmas palm, is a small to medium-sized palm tree that originates from the Philippines. This tropical palm is popular for its manageable height, attractive form, and bright red fruits that appear in winter, giving it a festive look, hence the name "Christmas palm."
