I'm posting this for Dave Ison, one of the regulars on the EPS forum:

"I was a bit surprised when I spotted this on my seedling of this palm yesterday. I think this plant is about 4 maybe 5 years old. I haven't seen this on any other Sabals I have, some that are considerably older. Is this unusual for such a young plant?"

What a Freak.gif!!!!

I'd be interested to see if it survives... Expending all that energy on reproduction at such a young age could be fatal. Wonder what offspring might do?

John,

In rare instances I have seen this happen with some of the Cocoid hybrids, and also Chamaerops and Serenoa. If it's a terminal inflorescence, it will mean the death of the plant.

And in my observation sabals do get easily affect by new climates & water qualities..So much of verigation happens all the time ! :hmm:

Here this also happened with a Sabal mexicana at a very young stage,when it was still in a pot...

It died after some time that it was planted out. I´m not sure if the reason was the inflorescence....
