Palm Tree
A coconut palm with a curved, ring-segmented trunk and a crown of drooping feathery fronds, optional coconut bunch. Lean and seed bend each copy differently so a beach row never looks cloned.

Use it
Code for the specimen as it is set up above; it follows your knobs.
import { createAsset } from 'https://gaitkit.com/cdn/palm-tree.mjs';
const palmTree = createAsset();
scene.add(palmTree); // rests on y = 0, front faces +Zimport { useMemo } from 'react';
import { createAsset } from 'https://gaitkit.com/cdn/palm-tree.mjs';
export function PalmTree() {
const model = useMemo(() => createAsset(), []);
return <primitive object={model} />;
}# Import palm-tree.glb (download below). It is a static mesh, one material per colour.
add_child(preload("res://palm-tree.glb").instantiate())// Import palm-tree.glb with glTFast (com.unity.cloud.gltfast).
// Drop it in the scene: 1 unit = 1 metre, +Z is its front.Use the gaitkit MCP server: get_variant({ "id": "palm-tree", "want": "default look" })
then place the result.

| Knob | Type | Values | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
height | range | 3 to 14, step 0.5 | 8 | Height of the crown above the ground in metres. 3 is a young palm, 14 a tall old coconut palm. |
lean | range | 0 to 1, step 0.05 | 0.45 | How far the trunk curves out sideways. 0 stands straight up, 1 arcs far over like a palm leaning out over a beach. |
fronds | range | 6 to 16, step 1 | 11 | Number of fronds in the crown. 6 is sparse and windswept, 16 a full lush crown. |
coconuts | toggle | on / off | true | A bunch of coconuts hanging under the crown. |
seed | range | 1 to 50, step 1 | 8 | Changes the lean direction, frond angles and shades. Plant a row with different seeds so no two palms match. |
Presets: beach leaner {"lean":0.95,"height":9,"seed":3} · oasis palm {"lean":0.1,"fronds":14,"coconuts":false,"height":6} · storm battered {"fronds":7,"lean":0.7,"seed":27}
