hear is a low quality render early in development showing a close up of the leaf
shape.

 noise in the rotation of each leaf adds a lot to simulate real world palms.
     rotate (rand(Rn)*1.2-5-XX)*9*y
     rotate ((XX+4)*I+B+((rand(Rn)-.4)*4-XX*5))*z

 branch is actually 2 of the leaf sections added end to end without the v
cutout.

 leafs follow the branch with a sin() function
    translate <-.01, sin(pi/2-XX/5.6)-.03, XX>



.... ignore the stuff behind the leafs... lol
