Sabal Palmetto ‘Mocksville’ 

 

Which is planted in a Southeastern facing corner. It will be protected probably every winter, but I love S. palmetto so much that it’s worth it.

Sabal Uresana ‘Blue Highlands’

 

Ive heard interesting hardiness reports with this plant and I’m intrigued. I’m just experimenting and I don’t think this is a long term palm here, but who knows? Will definitely be protected. I was going to keep it in a pot for a while, but the roots on this thing are crazy!

"Sabal Uresana" is on my list to put in the ground. Need to order some from TCHP shortly. 

Just remember that rock will absorb less and less and that guy grows. Nothing like a little palm shade :)

Looking good!

Haha thank you! I know that rock won’t absorb as much heat when the palm grows. But it’s helpful for its “strap leaf phase”. I just need that thing established lol!

All looks good.  All should be cold hardy for your area except the Palmetto as you noted.

Haha, I also have one under a Crepe Myrtle! I suspect the nice smooth bark will contrast nicely with the dark green. What Myrtle did you plant?

Same here! I’m excited to see your progress. They are one of my favorite palms. I must live vicariously though, unfortunately they don’t do well here.
