Mulberry Sabal palms in Virginia


Cindy Adair

Recommended Posts

These Sabals were planted 2 years ago as landscaping for a new Dominos pizza place in Virginia Beach.

This Dominos is on a major east/west boulevard so residents often pass by daily.

I think they may have defoliated even before the first winter but I guess the management is eternally optimistic. Either that or they think proper palm fronds look like mulberry weeds.

I saw only one tree with any sign of life yet they remain as a blight to the area.

These are borderline here anyway but were widely planted around new businesses about 2 years ago. After two rough winters I see a return to easier winter hardy options finally such as trachs.

They might not have ever regenerated as they look to be hurricane cut. It's sad. You even see it here often when they are thrown in a hole and not taken care of.
