Beautiful Wild Sabals

The loggers are gracious enough to not mow these things down when they clear cut. There is about a 10 mile stretch of clear cut along side the road I take to work everyday. These have to be upwards of 80’ tall. And, there are literally hundred of them alone with thousands of smaller ones. 

They’re in my native range, so I see a lot of these in the woods. But, none this tall.

I wonder if they're vulnerable to wind now that the buffer has been removed. It's nice to see sabals growing wild - and too tall to have commercial value.

Sabals are strong like bull. It would probably take wins in excess of 300 mph to create problems. Beautiful pictures!

They have some serious age to be that tall.

And these are in Georgia ? Some of these look tall enough to be around 60 feet which the GA state record palmetto is.   Awesome shots!

Yes. They’re about half between Nahunta, Ga and Brunswick, Ga. The pictures really don’t do the height of them justice. I was about 500 yards away from them. I wish I could ha got closer, but that’s a long walk in clear cut.
