Does anyone have a Sabal Rosei?

[Peachs]

It is not frequent, compared to Sabal Palmetto or Minor. It has a thin trunk and withstands low temperatures.
 

I think I'm going to buy 2. Does anyone know tell me the speed of growth with respect to other sabal?

I find almost no information on the forum, and few nurseries sell it. What happens with this species of palm tree? Why is it so unknown?

I have one. Grows much like other Sabal for me ie slowly!  Not as bad as the more heat demanding ones like mauritiiformis or uresana though!

What is your opinion about its resistance to cold?

I am frost free so really couldn't say.   It didn't much appeciate the 2m of rain that we had this year but is generally bullet proof.

I'm growing seedlings, they're a little faster than my lisa, but slow overall. I'd get seeds if it's possible, Sabals are some of the easiest palms to germinate in my experience if you're buying them that small.

I took some pictures today of what I purchased as sabal rosei many years ago. I started some uresana same time and they both have similar trunk size. Both are in sugar sand and we get 48-52” rainfall. I also irrigated these during the dry several months.`The rosei i planted as a triple and had a storm blow one stem downward. I left it cause it adds history.  I do have a few 15g plants that have rooted into the ground, but could be cut/transplanted pretty successfully. Let me know if you’re in need and willing to drive to pickup in SE Hillsborough county. I have 3 and will give a good deal to whomever want one this badly

Pretty fast in temperate areas and does not die so easily as palmetto. Also big fruits and seeds.

This is a popular variety. Many sellers on Etsy as well. I have a small one in ground that has seen 14 degrees F and frozen multiple times. It is growing more vertical, faster, than the palmettos. Zone 8a/b
