My second/younger Sabal miamiensis I germinated from a dessicated seed I found on a plaqued palm at Leu Garden in Orlando, FL, flowered and set fruit for the first time this spring. And that fruit and seeds are by far the largest I've personally ever seen in a Sabal palm - more than 2x larger than those of my first S. miamiensis, which came from seeds collected by Christian Faulkner. In addition, that crop of seeds started ripening in early Sept. Sabals in SWFL generally ripen from mid-Oct. to late Nov. That early ripening may just be a variation on a norm but it is new to me and I'm not sure what to make of it. But the palm nerd in me finds all this exciting.
