What you have circled is likely the start of the "heel" which is something that Sabal palms have. Don't be alarmed if you see roots exposed from this "heel" it is natural. Below you can see a very large "heel" on my young Sabal uresana. Sabal minor will develop one too although not as big. 1 2 Jon Sunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use liquid kelp right away though which helps promote root growth Do you have any Liquid kelp that you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZPalms Posted June 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 When do sabals usually palmate, I'm betting on the new leaf it's pushing up to be palmate since it is going into its 4th year but just wondering if anyone knew based on personal experience?

ZPalms Posted July 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 I'm not sure if this is a problem or it's just because of the age of the leaf but it's developed these brown spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
