Eric in Orlando

Recommended Posts

This 3 headed Sabal palmetto is growing in Heathcote Botanical Garden in Ft. Pierce, FL. There is a sign at the base with the history of the palm.

It's doing nicely. The last transplant went extremely well.

After the three-headed Sabal, possibly the most striking palm in the garden is a tall clump of Acoelorrhaphe wrightii, paurotis palm. It's the tallest I've seen in the area. Naturally, I don't have a photo.

The garden's looking better maintained than a few years ago. The Phoenix reclinata (Senegal date) palms were cleared of masses of dead leaves, and have remained pretty tidy. There's wider paths through the Boston fern, which is gradually disappearing from some areas.

Hi Eric, that really is something, I'll have to enter that in Palmpedia, oh yes, the Sabal Miamiensis you gave me is doing great, and has gone pinnate, and the silver color is striking, Ed

Nice palm. Thanks for posting.

You can clearly see the restrictions in the trunk that most likely mark the transplants.

Great observation, I didn't even pay attention to that.
