Sabal x Brazoria?
by Joe NC- 1 follower

I purchased this a few years ago as a Brazoria from a nursery that had many kinds of Sabal (ecotypes of palmetto & minor, green uresana, and brazoria) all mostly strap leaf in 3 gallon, not labeled but separated into groups. I was directed to the Brazoria, picked one up and was on my way. Now a few years later and my plant has palmate leaves, I'm thinking maybe I grabbed one of the minors that got accidentally placed with the Brazoria? I think they maybe had Louisiana and some eastern nc giant type? I don't remember exactly but here is my palm. It usually holds 6ish leaves (most were shredded or crushed in hurricane last year), they are not ver…

Sabal x brazoriensis

Anyone have any experience with Sabal x brazoriensis? I just recently ran across this offered on a reputable palm dealer's website. This looks promising for what I am looking for, since I would like to try growing a Sabal palm here in Seattle that can take the cold but also will develop some trunk eventually. I'm not as interested in the trunkless varieties (Sabal minor, needle palm, etc.).

I saw a mature brazoria palm at barton springs for the first time and was amazed at it's incredible mass and huge leaves. They almost remind of green bismarcks or a sabal minor on steroids. I thought sabal mexicanas were cool until I saw this Brazoria. For some reason I assumed this ancient hybrid had a small trunk. Not so. Anybody here growing these? I would love to see more photos of them. Here's a picture of it... sorry for the quality... it was taken from the car through the fence with the phone. I'll get a close-up next time I'm over there.

Hi all, I finaly managed to get hold of some Sabal Brazoriensis seeds but I wasn't expecting them to be this large. I've only germinated S. Minor and "Lousisiana" before and I've never had them this size. Can anyone confirm that Brazoriensis has such big seeds? Picture below shows the seeds next to Sabal minor seed. Thanks in advance!

Sabal's that LOVE Water
by Alicehunter2000- 1 follower

Ok, most of us already know that Sabal Palmetto LOVES water. In fact it is almost aquatic in some areas where the bottom remains submerged for months at a time. We know it can handle both saltwater and freshwater. Sabal minor is another that not only handles inundation but thrives. What other Sabal's are true water lovers....and do you have pictures to prove it.

Sabals
by GregVirginia7- 9 replies

I’ve done a lot of complaining about the slow growth rate of my McCurtain and Brazoria Sabals...Granted, they are slow growers anyway but I think I made them even slower by not watering them enough...unless there was a serious drought, I would let the rain do it for the most part. But this year, I’ve taken to watering them by hand 2-3 times a week, regardless of rain and Of course, they are growing at a much faster rate than before. Sounds really stupid, but I was going on the assumption that they take care of themselves. I won’t drown them or lead them into root rot, but a more proactive watering schedule is going to put my complaining in the rear view mirror...I can see…

I have several Sabals coming into bloom that I want to prevent cross-pollination on. S. minor, brazoriensis, birmingham, louisiana. What method can I use to prevent this? I see the pollination bags but I can't seem to find big-long ones that will fit these long blooms. What is the best way here? Quick lesson here appreciated

Sabals dying at Mercer Botanical Garden
by necturus- 1 follower
- 4 replies

I visited Mercer today. They lost most palms in Palmaggedon, but the Sabals were largely spared. I was shocked to see a dead Sabal minor 'Louisiana' (two trunks). I also noticed the same thing with Sabal 'brazoria' - two trunks, one dead, the other dying. Anyone have the inside scoop? Think this has to be some pathogen. Doesn't bode well for their beautiful Sabal uresana, mexicana, and palmettos.

Is there any easy way to differentiate Sable palmetto from Sable mexicana? Here in Texas, most nurserys have both and they are widely used in commercial landscaping, not so much in residential situations.

Sad Sylvester's

I live in 9a. We planted these trees in July of last year at the start of a drought. They were looking good after a lot of water through the summer and then in the winter we got a really really hard freeze. We have trimmed them back as much as we are comfortable with keeping as much green as possible. We have fertilized them and treated them for Crown rot but now it seems that we have a bug of some sort eating on the leaves. I know the bugs are just enjoying them because they aren't healthy. The last picture is the original tree that we had moved and it is not being affected by the bugs. Any suggestions on how to treat them?

Hello Guys, do you have any experience with sago deep cutting? I have 2 sagos. 2021 Texas freeze damage. I was checking the tops weekly and they were firm until today. Today the top came came off. I cut the tops about 6 inches deep and sagos' cores are rotten. But there is firm and live tissue around the cores. Do you have any experience with sago cutting? I couldn't find anything online. Thanks in advance, S

I know I know they aren't palms! But still cold hardy testing none the less lol. So far these have seen 19F, many low to mid 20s for lows at night and even 36 hours bellow freezing! Might as well document these while we are having this well bellow average false winter....errrr Fall. Here they are right before our first dip in the teens. Filmed around November 20th Here they are this AM. ZERO protection from our weather and so surprising that the little guys are still doing so well. Hoping they pull through to spring as Id love to have a set of these in the garden.

Hello, I am new to this website and I am pretty new to palm trees. I live in zone 7a North Ohio and I have a dwarf palmetto tree (Sabal minor) and a Sago palm. I had these grown completely unprotected for the past 2 years, but now they are getting brown. The dwarf palm has brown on the leaves and the sago palm is completely brown. It was 7 degrees F this morning. What should I do?

Hello everyone, This is my first post on the Palm Talk Forum and I thought it might be useful to share that my mature pair(Male on right, Female on left) of Sago palms (cycas revoluta) have just started flushing. We had a rather chilly winter this year and unfortunately I neglected to cover them resulting in almost total defoliation . Nevertheless, they both appear to be coming back with the male on the right pushing out new growth quite quickly. While I also have a few other specimens these two are definitely my pride and joy.

Sago palms in North Carolina?

Hello. My name is Nathaniel. I found some cycads that look like Sago palms (Cycas revoluta) here in Granville County, NC. I am not sure if they are Cycas revoluta because there are other Cycas species from the mountains in southern China that look similar, that are even more cold hardy than Cycas revoluta (http://www.cycadpalm.com/cold-tolerant-cycads--the--short-list-.html). I love cycads, and would like to raise some here in North Carolina. Also, would anyone know whether Zamia floridana (Florida Coontie) cycad would survive here in North Carolina? Here it says they survive down to 7F: https://seedrack.com/10.html I suspect the str…

Not sure if I can post about Sagos, but let's see what happens. I've just collected a lot of seeds that I think are ripe, and I'm in the midst of cleaning them. I wonder if anyone can give me some pointers on how to proceed, or some 'gotchas' that i should be on the lookout for? I've been watching some Youtube videos, which are fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXnanzqQpbM JT
