I really want to get some sabals in the ground but I'm just curious if anyone is planting early?

I have planted them the first week of March here in Pennsylvania. There's no reason you can't in North Carolina i would say go for it!

Thanks! I feel like our temperatures have got pretty decent so I could possibly get away with planting with maybe the occasional frost here and there! 

Maybe after this weekend's cold snap.

Yep I think they will be fine but I would wait after this weeks cold like @SeanK said

Thanks! this looks fun!

I did plant seeds early, not plants even though I believe they would make it fine even with a 29F period before spring

Yeah, they're good people. I kinda had to bust Teddy's ⚽ 🏈 a little bit because I never knew how much he looked like Seth Rogan, but I just potted up a bunch of stuff in his method.

Any of those palmettos pulling through?  About half of mine are still alive; I moved them into pots and put them under a grow light inside, separate from the other stuff. Still need to find a good solution  for the scale.

Only one has its spear pulled, but I see something down in the hole. The others are still holding on strong, so I have no idea what's going on, but I guess they're doing okay. The ones in the bin are the dudes I want to get into the ground, since the roots are growing out of the nursery bags, two of them were strap leaves I dug up from Bragg Blvd 3 years ago. Its great to finally come full circle and they can go back into the ground continue. 🤠

I actually managed to find a picture of what I brought the bragg blvd sabals home in when I first got them, crazy where they started.

I’ve planted a few Sabals this year but our temps have been in the 70s and 80s for a while. Aside from one cold week we haven’t had a winter.
