More Palms in Fort Myers Palm Park

Yesterday we traveled back to the Fort Myers Palm Park in downtown on Martin Luther King Ave to check on the status of two seeding Copernicias. I also took a few minutes to take photos of other palms.

Sabal palmetto Lisa x2: These are the wild Sabal Lisas rescued from certain destruction during renovations of I-75 about 10 years ago. The City of Ft. Myers donated space in this palm park where they will live in perpetuity. Notice that the palm on the right holds on to its boots; the one on the left does not. The palm on the left is my avatar.

It could be that they are just a lot taller and the crown is just wider, but the trunks on the sabal Lisa’s look narrower in diameter that a standard mature palmetto? That serenoa repens silver :wub:

Those Sabal Palmetto look impressive!

Any idea how old they might be?

Thank you for sharing those images -

I don't know but I'd guess decades old.

They are the size of normal Sabal palmettos
