Unfortunately the spot this monkey is in I could no longer take any photos. BUT! I recently took down the kids fort and I can take pics of it again. Next Father’s Day I’ll have to have an updated shot with my boy. Until then here’s a new shot from a new angle.

Wow steve, what a gorgeous sabal!!  Very vibrant color and its a towering beast.  Do I see an inflorescence stalk extending past the crown?  Does the inflorescence orders of branching(3,4) confirm its a causiarum or domingensis?

Thank you. The light was just right. It has a ton of inflorescences on it. I’m not sure if the orders of branching is a way to tell them apart but the fruit is small and round instead of pear shaped and it has very pronounced ligules which point t to causiarum.

Sounds like causiarum from the small fruits size.   Interesting that the boots hold on after all these years, any falling off yet?  I guess climate has an impact there.  Beautiful palms!

the boots are falling off and if pulled a few off.  they're huge and a pain in the but to get rid of so I haven't actively tried to remove them yet. I do think that being in a dry climate makes them hold on longer though. I would imagine that rainy areas of more humid areas would make the break down faster but im just guessing.

Holy poop on a stick that thing is GLORIOUS. I should have some seeds in my mailbox any minute now, hopefully at some point mine will be half that nice. It's time to put Mississippi on the map.

not a bad idea. perhaps I could make him take a saw up there and trim it while he's at it... I like it.
