NC_Palms Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Today I decided to take a trip to Craven County, NC to view Sabal minor in habitat. It grows abundantly here on wet sites. 2 7 Zone 8a Greenville, NC Zone 8b/9a Bluffton, SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PalmatierMeg Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Sabals minor & palmetto do quite well in wetlands.

NC_Palms Posted June 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Most of the Sabal minor I have come across were growing in wetlands or in deep, moist deciduous woods that flood annually in late winter. I have seen only a few growing in dry pine flatwoods. 1 Zone 8a Greenville, NC Zone 8b/9a Bluffton, SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that you could overwater a S. minor, especially one that is in a pot. Zone 8a Greenville, NC Zone 8b/9a Bluffton, SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they grow in wetlands that are intermittently dry. Flood areas, brackish water tides, etc. as long as it didn’t sit in standing water indefinitely, in theory it would be fine.

Not sure if I ever saw S. minor growing in indefinitely standing water but I have seen them grow in extremely soggy/soaked soil. The soil in these wetlands acts a lot like quicksand. Trust me, I've fallen into it way too many times lol! 1 Zone 8a Greenville, NC Zone 8b/9a Bluffton, SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
