Can anyone point me to the best place to buy harder-to-find Sabal species?

Sabal pumos

Sabal bermudana

Sabal birmingham

Sabal minor

Jungle music’s selection isn’t huge.

Try North Texas Cold Hardy Palms. Except they of course just went through that wicked freeze...so check with their website for availability depending on whether they were able to protect their inventory.

Gary's Nursery has those huge NC Minors , and he used to have lots of Birminghams . I think Birminghams are harder to get . 

He has a website .

You can find some Birminghams on ebay and some other places.  Most places I've tried to find them from don't seem to ship unfortunately.  Prices are reasonable too for the size.

Subscribe to my YouTube here  to follow along my Sabal obsession....  Quite possibly one of the biggest Sabal plantings in the US.

Minors are easy to get off Ebay at medium sizes.

Shot in the dark but did any of your L. Weddellanium survive? I sent an email inquiry forever ago and never heard back.

Do you have Louisiana? That’s the big faster growing strain, correct?

Sabal pumos is not cold hardy at all.  I’ve lost them to cold three times.  Defoliated in low 20’s, killed by brief drops to the upper teens.

Sabal Pumos is not very hardy. There was one labeled at the Texas A&M Horticulture gardens, upper teens To 20 defoliated it, in 2010. Doubt it survived.

I ordered some Alabama sabals from you in March. I have tried to reach out to you MULTIPLE TIMES about when they'll ship to no avail. You're about to lose a repeat customer.

I would get your money back if you sent money and find another source until he is back in business. All Sabal minors are very cold hardy. There isn’t going to be any difference with the small Leaf minors.
