Lake Charles, Louisiana Naturalized Sabal palmetto on Google Maps

I have heard about a large population of naturalized Sabal palmetto in Lake Charles, Louisiana on the forum before. They have been documented officially too. So I went around on Google Maps in the area because I got curious, there are a lot more than I thought, there seems to be a huge main population and then other populations, even miles away, around it. I find this pretty neat.

    Just seeing this now! Yeah there are tons of them around here near rivers usually. But they can be anywhere really.  I got one actually that grew wild under an oak tree that was uprooted in the hurricane. Why do you think they're naturalized and not native? I've seen conflicting range maps on sabal palmetto. Cool thread!

    This is at my friends property in North Lake Charles.  Randomly stumbled on it. Probably at least a good half mile from any homes or road.

    I believe the Sabine River runs very close to Lake Charles and if I'm not mistaken there a variation of Sabal named for it.  It may be a minor though now that I'm thinking about it.

    I’m not entirely sure, maybe they are their own unique ecotype. Cool to see someone on the forum from there!
