Sabal minor in habitat

Recommended Posts

Today I decided to take a trip to Craven County, NC to view Sabal minor in habitat. It grows abundantly here on wet sites.

Most of the Sabal minor I have come across were growing in wetlands or in deep, moist deciduous woods that flood annually in late winter. I have seen only a few growing in dry pine flatwoods.

Not sure. I would imagine that you could overwater a S. minor, especially one that is in a pot.

I believe they grow in wetlands that are intermittently dry. Flood areas, brackish water tides, etc. as long as it didn’t sit in standing water indefinitely, in theory it would be fine.

Not sure if I ever saw S. minor growing in indefinitely standing water but I have seen them grow in extremely soggy/soaked soil. The soil in these wetlands acts a lot like quicksand. Trust me, I've fallen into it way too many times lol!

They may or may not. That’s just the best of my knowledge. By no means an expert as I live nowhere near ther native range haha. I bet that was quite the interesting experience!

Love the pictures, thanks for sharing! Where exactly in Craven Co. are these Sabal minor? Croatan National Forest? I ask because I may be traveling there soon. Thanks!
