Roswell New Mexico Sabal palms


Jtee

Recommended Posts

I drove down a random street in a neighborhood today in Roswell and noticed these 3 Sabal palms. The only palms I have ever seen in Roswell. I had just posted a pic yesterday of a Sabal palm in Alamogordo NM and I said it was the only Sabal palm I’ve ever seen in New Mexico and then today I spot a few more. 
zone 7a-7b

im sure they would look decent with some care and trimming.

There was a larger washy at taco bell on north main that survived 2011.  Not sure if it is still there. Also a large S. mexicana by the country club survived same event(-11f).

You know what, I thought I remembered as a kid a palm tree in front of Taco Bell. Of course I didn’t know anything about palms back then but as an adult I thought maybe it was just one of those large yuccas.

As of 2019 the mentioned Washingtonia seems to still be kicking,

This garden center oddly also has a large sabal,

Couldn't find the Sabal via streetview, but found this young washy near one of the country clubs

Do you remember the street or neighborhood these are in? Beautiful palms!

Someone on Facebook shared this beautiful Washingtonia in Roswell, it's clearly been there for a while!

As far as those sabal(s), that looks like what I had seen. Tried finding again.  Somewhat over by the country club area, east side. 

There is also a washy (2011)survivor at the taco bell(SE corner of lot)- N main.

Thanks, I will try finding them. And yes I’ve seen that Washy, very impressive palm! The one above looks to be a survivor as well.
