Sabal minor Blountstown Dwarf 1g Seedlings: 5 only


PalmatierMeg

Recommended Posts

I have five extra Sabal minor Blountstown Dwarf 1g seedlings from my mother palm's 2016 harvest. This delightful, coldhardy little Sabal grows just 18" tall and 30-36" wide. That is precisely the size of my mother palm when I took her photo yesterday. Her tiny fronds form a 60 degree angle. She flowers/seeds only every 2-3 years and produces a bodacious harvest of 60-75 seeds. Last year she did not flower probably because we had a searing drought. So far this spring I've seen no signs of an inflorescence. All her offspring germinate true. I  have no other Sabal minors nearby. I have nearly a dozen of her offspring planted on our property. I am posting a photo of one of them in a planter box by the garage. It also is from the 2016 crop and I planted it last spring. It is growing happily and soon to go palmate. The five seedlings I am selling are still strap leaf and begging to be planted or up-potted. A palm this tiny is easy to protect from a northern winter and will never outgrow its protection. I know of one person who keeps his potted year round and has shown photos of it seeding. This delightful little Sabal piqued my interest in S. minor uber dwarfs and I have several variations from other geographical areas.

Before I get to the photos, the particulars:

Cost: $20 per palm

Shipping: $10 for 1 palm, $15 for more than one. Palms sent Priority Mail without pots & soil, roots wrapped in damp orchid moss, clear wrap & foil

Payment via Paypal

No shipping overseas. No shipping to HI

These little guys need good homes. I made the following revision.

Revised Cost: $15.00 per seedling

Revised Shipping: $8.00   Shipping is less than I estimated. I will come shipping for more than one palm

All gone. But my mother looks to be setting seeds this year so I may have small seedlings next year.
