Yeah I saw Gary updated the page pretty cool. I bet in southern Virginia in one of the swamps there are sable miners growing, someone just needs to find them lol

People have already found Sabal minor in Southeastern Virginia. The real question is if theyre truly native or just naturalized by either people or wildlife.

I have a photo on my phone of a smaller one somewhere in VA Beach and theres a ton documented on iNaturalist including in Williamsburg and the Cape Charles area

@MrTropicalI am going to Holden Beach this summer I will try and take some pictures of these palms to update you guys

Mrtropical, PApalmtrees, and NCpalms...I love the great photos you have all shared.  Who knew that 200-300 miles down the Atlantic coast could make a world of difference in palm trees.

CIDP at P&L Palms in Hampstead, N.C. (August 2022)



Sadly, it did not survive that winter. Its successor, a Queen Palm, also did not survive.
