Sabal palmetto Lisa seedling

This morning I took photos of a Sabal Lisa seedling given to me by Rusty on Pine Island in May 2008. It was probably harvested in late 2007 and germinated shortly thereafter which means it is nearly 3 years old. I planted it last fall and since then it has at least doubled in size. I really believe this mutant variety is faster and more robust than the standard palmetto. And it looks great too.

Sabal palmetto "Lisa". Note the bag of mulch for scale in 1st photo.

    Hi Meg, the Sabal lisa seeds you gave me last year have all germinated and are tiny seedlings in a community pot. I guess I should separate some and put them in the ground. It's a beautiful palm especially for Sabal lovers! Peter
