La Cabane des Robinsons in the heart of Adventureland, the palmtrees in Disney Studio 1 and the palmtrees on Hollywood Blvd. are fake. Also the Christmas Tree isn't real... lol

That's quite surprising really about the Hollywood Boulevard ones . . . they look very real from a distance, and reasonably close up . . .

So, what are they made of? Just plastic?

I think the Adventureland ones are real trees but they are not actual palms . . . palsm wouldn't be able to survive in the French climate unfortunately . . .

I don't know what they're made off, but they're very very realistic. They even move like a normal palm tree would in the wind. I know they were very expensive...

All trees in Adventureland are real for sure!

There are palms, but very special ones that survive the frost.

are the ones that survive the frost really expensive and how many are there in the parks?

In fact those frost-free palmtrees are not that expensive. You can often see those in gardens all over Europe. They're called the Chinese Windmill Palm and can survive up to ?27.5 °C.

At the resort they're used in a lot of different places: Disney Village (next to Annette's), Front Lot at WDS, Crush's Coaster & Flying Carpets and all over Adventureland.

Edit: added a picture of one of those palms.
