The Layer Style Stroke (Gradient, Shape Burst) might also be an option,

    I was thinking Inner Glow would be similar, but it has trouble with sharp corners.

      Good one! 

      I quess it depends on what appearance the original poster is aiming for.

      You can use the gradient tool and create a clipping mask. Use the foreground to transparent gradient so you can selectively apply a gradient to each section. Do this in a seperate layer and then clip the layer to the palm tree layer.
