Here's some pictures of Serenoa repens in habitat around northern Florida. They're scattered about by the thousands along with Sabal palmetto and S.minor. They provide food for many animals like the black bears and many birds.

If you look close you can see a stripe of faint variegation in this frond: image.thumb.jpeg.eb602244bfe67ccbbe28c10

Hope you enjoy these photos. I never considered growing the green variety but after seeing them in habitat I'm sold.

Can you tell if these are also Serenoa Repens? This photo was taken at a golf course just south of Montgomery, Alabama. It was so cool to find some wild growing palms this far north but I'm not sure of the exact species.

A little hard for me to tell but I think those are Sabal minor, another native palm.

Lol! a common Palm in Florida but also a valueble native. You can travel across the entire country and you will never see anything like Florida's/ the south's native palms!
