Sabal Palmetto Palm Seeds

The Cabbage Tree Palm is a large, robust palm with a single unbranching trunk that grows to about 50 feet and may occasionally reach 70 feet. The crown is typically 12-18 feet in diameter, with large, medium-green costapalmate leaves.
Unlike the royal palm, the cabbage palm has no crownshaft. Leaves emerge directly from the trunk, which is often covered with old leaf stem bases arranged in an interesting crisscross pattern. The creamy white flowers appear in summer and are followed by black spherical fruit in late fall or early winter.
This southeastern U.S. native palm occurs near the coast from the Carolinas through Florida and along the Gulf Coast. Sabal palmetto is very salt and drought tolerant and can be used in beachside plantings. It adapts to many soils, tolerates standing water and brackish water, and is hardy to USDA Zones 8-10.
The cabbage palm is used as an ornamental and street tree, well adapted for group, specimen, or avenue plantings. It is also the state tree of Florida and appears on the state flag of South Carolina.
