Sabal palmetto is known as Cabbage Palmetto, Sabal Palm, Carolina Palmetto or Common Blue Palmetto. Is a large palm with a rough trunk, 60 to 90cm in diameter. Bears compact, spherical heads of many fan-shaped, rich green leaves, to 2m long, divided into numerous long, 2-lobed segments with thread-like filaments hanging between them. Cream flowers are borne in panicles just longer than the leaves, usually in summer. The leaf crown is small and compact and the leaves are a uniform deep green. Excellent for larger gardens where a dramatic solitary presence is desired. These are small but very healthy starter palms with well established root systems.
