Sabal time :
by WSimpson- 6 replies

I know it's been hot in Texas and even the Midwest but here there has been a pesky Low pressure system off the Southeast coast that's been hanging around for the better part of the week . Well that Low is moving on and I'm going to get in on some summer like weather . Sabals love 80'sF-90'sF with lows in the 60's . Sabal Birmingham on the left and Palmetto on the right . My HC palmetto might bloom this summer but it should next summer . Hopefully I will have a lot of seed on my Birmingham that has been lacking a lot of seed for 3 years now for some reason . ( Possibly it needed to recover fully from 2018 when I had a record eight day below 32F period ? It has ful…

Sabal trio
by danee- 2 replies

I have this wonderful Trio of sabals that we planted last November. They seemed to be popping well but this spring they seem to have stopped. I am afraid we have over watered them. Will they recover? I live in coastal mississippi and have really high humidity and water all around. We put sand in the soil when we planted them. They have soft spots on the trunks. The trunks were getting black but that seemed to get lighter with no water. I am not watering them unless it rains. We are getting coastal showers in the afternoons now and I'm so worried they have root rot. Any help would be appreciated. The last picture is the ones we planted in July. They are doing great.

Sabal updates - the seedlings grow

With all this talk of arctic blasts, or polar vortex's, or snow bombs... whatever "pop" word we are using these days to describe these absolutely ghastly events I am reminded of past winter sowing projects from years past. So, as a break from the cold today - I took some glamour shots (more like unglamorous) of all my sabal seedlings as they've grown, many that have been sent to me by other IPS/palmtalk members. Apologies in advance for the absolutely crap photos - I wish I bad a better spot to photograph palms! urgh. First up is good ol' Sabal palmetto. This was a washed up germinated seed at Panama city beach after a storm back in August of 2019.…

The first pic is of a frond that came out in late May, it has some spotting and slight yellowing in places. I feel some of the fronds are turning a little sooner than they should but not sure. I’ve trimmed a few older ones off already. Does it look like it’s needing something? It’s currently pushing up two fronds fairly quickly. Last two pics are from late May

What is the growth rate for Sabal uresana when planted in the ground? Is it comparable to Sabal minor or faster? Slower? My potted, 5 gallon S. uresana are still strap leafed after 3 years and I am becoming impatient.

Sabal uresana in Austin, Texas 1 2 3

The recent polar vortex nuclear winter event caused immense destruction in many ways and I lost about 25% of my landscape. I had a low of 8F on morning of February 15th and 7F on morning of February 16th. Starting on previous Thursday there was freezing rain that was followed by a large snowfall event then freezing rain then more snow. Temperatures remained below freezing for a consecutive 144 hours. The Sabal uresana individuals in my yard had to remain uncovered as I ran out of freeze covers since I had put them on all my more sensitive plants. I have two forms of Sabal uresana in my yard. One is a faster growing lighter blue variety that purportedly was collected at sl…

Sabal Uresana Recovery after 4F and trunk cut.

Pictures 4/6/2022 Sabal Uresana, the green-gray coastal form I Believe purchased from Barton Springs Nursery around 2009 as a 5 gallon. Week of 32F and below, 6-8 inches snow, 1 inch ice. Had to trunk cut it. The new spear was rotted and it was too big to push out new growth.

So I am planning to plant a group of 8 7G sabal uresana's up here in Upstate SC. They will be planted in a linear line about 6-7ft space in between. I just wanted to ask you guys if this palm would be suitable. Is it cold hardy enough? Can it take the cold wet winters? Anyone around my area grow this palm? Other palm options would be: - Sabal Palmetto - Sabal Birmingham - Sabal Brazoriensis Any other option that is hardy for my area?

Sabal Uresana varieties & cold hardiness 1 2 3
by TexasColdHardyPalms- 2 followers

During this winter I have noticed a big difference between seed stock of Sabal Uresana and upon further investigation it appears that there are two distinct populations of this species. The costal form is more blue/green in color and from what I can tell is more of a zone 8 palm. I have had various damage on this species from 100% defoliation on smaller 5G plants in the ground to 75% defoliation on larger 5-6' tall (overall) plants in the ground. There is also a reported Mountain form that is silver/white even from the first leaf (same color as a B. Armata) and this palm appears to be zone 7 hardy. I had zero damage on three leaf plants in 1G pots (100% frozen…

Sabal Virginiana?
by PalmettoSeeker- 5 replies
- 839 views
I was relayed a story told by Abdullah Palms in the Calidiora Peninsula, Hampton, Virginia, zone 8a "A hybrid between Sabal Bermudana and Sabal Minor was genetically modified to have the hardiness of Sabal Minor, the growth rate of Sabal Palmetto, and the tolerance of less heat that Sabal Bermudana has. 6 of them were successfully seed-grown in Hampton and they have only strap leaves. I wish to name it, Sabal Virginiana, the Virginia Palmetto. It can naturalize in Norfolk and on the Calidiora Peninsula and even maybe in nearby Williamsburg too!" is any of this true or even possible?

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.).

Sabal x Brazoriensis 1 2 3

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.
