The Sabal minor population in and around Congaree National Park, which is just Southeast of Columbia, South Carolina, look really cool. They have basically 360° fronds that stick kind of upright. Look at this observation of them that I saw on iNaturalist in their habitat. I would recommend looking around the observation map as well, you can literally see the different ecotypes around the Southeast.

Given their provenance is near Colombia, SC - at least down to single digits.

I agree with Flow. Someone in the area needs to collect seeds of this variety so it can be cultivated for other palm lovers.

I'm not far from there. 

 

I also go by I native stand on the way to work. I should take a look at those. They're good sized I know that. When the leaves drop they stand out off in the woods.

Not sure. Always just admired them from afar. If it's not a washout this weekend I'll try to check them out.

Interested in this topic.  Is it accepted that Sabal Minor is 360 degree fronds?  If so why is the ‘Conagree 360’ of interest to some?  Found a local stand recently that look 360+. Will admit to being a bit new here as my own Sabal Minors (purchased) do not exhibit the 360 fronds.  Photos include the 360 (first 2 pics) and my own (third pic, clearly not 360)
