Leaf is divided into 30-40 linear lanceolate and ends with marginal spiny segments. Leaves have strong, woody stalk up to 2 meter long, margins with hard spines, smooth on upper surface and rough in lower area. Leaves obtained from trees have myriad uses, including social uses like used for thatching for kutcha houses, fencing, and also to create livelihood options for local people by making mats, baskets, hand held fans, hats, rain coats. Additionally the local people also use the leaves to make playing kits for children play. Palmyra leaves have great ecological, economical, spiritual and cultural importance since olden days.

Used leaves of thatching and fencing are used as organic manure in their farm lands. Leaf stalks are used as fuel wood and in many villages this is one of the major fuel wood sources. The fleshy shoot apex of the tree is edible and is consumed frequently by local people growing the tree. Flower. Like all Borassus species, B. flabellifer is dioecious with male and female flowers on separate plants. Male inflorescence is 90–150 cm long, much branched with primary and secondary branches. Male flowers are sub sessile, with narrowly cuneate sepals with truncate inflexed tips and obovate-spatulate and shorter petals, large anthers. Female inflorescence has a flowering portion to 30 cm long, with 8–16 flowers spirally arranged. Female flowers have fleshy, large, reniform sepals, smaller petals, sub trigonous ovary, recurved stigmas and sessile. Flowering normally takes place from February to April. Fruits. Palmyra fruits are edible in all the stages. The male and female flowers are always produced in two different plants. The flowers are small, and pale yellow growing in clusters with a white string like inflorescences. Fruits are sub globose, and again in clusters. Usually a single tree will produce anywhere between 50 to 300 fruits. The size of the fruits range from 4-8 inches diameter, and are black, greenish white and black when ripe.
