What is your favorite sabal? The more sabals I see the more I like them. I have sabal mauritiiformis, domingensis (I think), minor, pumos and s seedling from Paul's moster. I'm thinking of adding uresana and want to make sure I'm not over looking any others. This will probably be the last sabal I plant so I want to make sure it's a good one. So tell me which sabals you guys love!

How about Sabal causiarum. There's a monster at Palomar College. It's very nice.

This thing makes a big bismark looks like a pipsqueak.

Sabal causiarum makes an impressive specimen, with leaves that can approach a Bismarckia's, combined with a trunk that isn't as great as Copernicia baileyana, but still stately. ,

Our Florida cabbage palms deserve some respect. They tolerate fire very well and are impressively long-lived. A grad student at the University of Florida (I've gotta look up his name) is looking at growth rates for these palms. The one dug up from the wild and planted in front of your house may be a century old. Some that were planted near Jacksonville in 1813 (or 1830) are still thriving.

In my want list there are Sabal causiarum and Sabal 'Lisa'. There are two nice specimens in the Kopsick Arboretum. I have growing S. palmetto and S. uresana.

A very glaucous Sabal uresana is a beautiful palm! Anybody got some pics to show?

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!

domingensis & causiarum are the same for all intents and purposes. If you're limited on space pick one and youre good to go. Steve, you already have domingensis and Pauls, so causiarum would just be over kill.....so go for it.

I agree. That's why I'm thinks uresana because it looks different. I do like seeing what everyone's favorite sabals are though.
