Sabal rosei???

Recommended Posts

When I was collecting seeds today, I was shown the Coolest 3 little Sabals, (believed to be Sabal rosei). I’m hoping to get some pics in a few days so you guys can tell me what u think. They were loaded with fruit. If anyone has any interest, let me know, and I can get lots. For now, I just took all I could carry in one hand. Second pic of cleaned fruit, tiny, plus one cut open.

Hey, Charlene,

Here’s a quote, I found about Rosei:

Slender palm 15m tall, trunk 15-30 cm in diameter breast high gray, smooth, leaves 10-30 evenly green, strongly costapalmate, filiferous, petioles 1.8-2.4 cm wide, 1-2 m long, hastula acute 5.1-7.0 cm long, glabrescent (often with lepidote pubescence on adaxial surface of midveins), margin of hastula flat and undulate, occasionally revolute, involute, or erect, segments 60-80 per leaf connate for 25% of their length, middle segment 55-110 cm long, 2.3-4.3 cm wide, 0.2-0.3 mm thick, apex bifurcate for 30-40 cm (rarely undivided), fruit oblate spheroidal, greenish brown black, medium to thick pericarp 15.3-22.4 mm in diameter, 13.5-20.1 mm high, seed strongly oblate concave, 10-15.5 mm in diameter, 6.4-8.7 mm high. (Eric S. botanist, H.P. Lou Gardens”

If anyone is interested in seeds of this Sabal (identity not positive) let me know, and I can get plenty of seeds. It fits description of S. rosei other than the tiny size of the seeds. All three palms are exactly the same, so, not likely a hybrid. $8/50 or $15/100

Here’s the only photo I received. Skinny trunk, inflorescences same length as leaves, fits, except small seed size. Note the ripe fruit. There’s actually three palms in a row, just can hardly tell in photo.

That doesn’t look the same at all to me. Yours looks much larger overall.
