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 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.

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.
