It is called traveller's palm as it serves travellers when they are thirsty and find no water anywhere The root of the leaves of the traveller's contains water and that is where the travellers get their water needs fulfilled.
The palm has a strange look in that the trunk looks like that of a coconut tree and the leaves resemble the banana plant
We had these in our garden years ago and one year there was heavy draught here and that is the year these trees died.
Do you always carry water while on travel?

That is a wise thing to do as what we get from taps is not reliable

I have never seen such a tree before. What kind of fruit does this tree have?

These are decorative palms and hence just produce flowers

That's a very nice ornamental plant. We have many kinds of palm plants here I just can't recall if we have one like this. So it's called Traveler's Palm. I always have a water vessel with me when I travel.

That's a pretty plant. I usually carry bottled water while on travel.

Sometimes what we carry may get over and in that eventuality what do you do?

@allknowing I have to find if there is any store nearby where I can buy another bottle of water.
