Sabal Minor

(Sabal palmetto)

The Sabal Palm is one of the hardiest trees one will encounter. Also known as the Blue-stem palm, the truck actually remains below the ground, and the leaves extending outward can measure anywhere from one to five feet wide, depending on conditions.

Because of it’s height and hardiness, the Sabal Palm is perfect for use as a border or hedging, both in residential and commercial developments. Also ideal for framing larger tree species, such as live oaks.
