If the palm trees have to look good, figure out some code to generate
meshes (you don't want to do them by hand!)  The benefit of this is
that you can generate a few of these, and then copy them many times
very cheaply (memory-wize).

If the palm trees don't have to look good, use simple csg for the trunk,
and then paint some polygons with an image_map of a palm frond, and
use that for the foilage.

Regards,
John
