Rat palm trees are wild trees added by the Biotech DLC that can be found in the biomes. They can only grow in polluted terrain, and can either be found growing there naturally, or sown by colonists. In this way they are much like witchwood trees, gray pine trees, and pebble cactus. Besides being pollution-resistant, rat palms can grow well in poor soil. On the other hand, they look ugly, grow slowly, and do not yield as much wood as other tree varieties.
