Hello I was thinking about getting a Trunking Sable what I mean by Trunking Sable like a Sable Louisiana or Sable Birmingham or a Sable Brazoria. Which one do you guys think would be the most hardy and the best one, my guess is the Brazoria or the Louisiana.
Hello, I am growing a Sabal palmetto in a pot indoors year round and would like some tips on how to take care of it. It’s my first time growing a Sabal palm indoors! Does anyone have any experience on maintaining a Sabal palm indoors? I’d like to hear some input and share some photos of your Saba...
I agree. You may need that mat next winter to keep your seedlings from stalling. Sabals want high heat, sun and humidity esp. in summer. The major reason they are so cold hardy in winter is a hot, sunny summer. In year round cold/cool climates they struggle to survive much less grow well. That said, Sabals are great for germinating palms from seeds. My first palm germinations were Sabal ...
Looks like you want to know what is the tallest Sabal as opposed to the overall largest Sabal. I don’t know each species’ height but palmetto is probably higher up the chain in that category. Some ancient palmettos in the Everglades may be pushing 80-90’ but because they are lightning rods in the sky, they are few and far between. Causiarum may be trailing the pack in height but is so ...
Hello, I have a young Sabal palmetto that I grow indoors. I was wondering how many years it will take my palmetto palm to develop a trunk? How long will it take for my palmetto palm to form mature fronds with palmate to costa palmate fronds? Thanks!
I'm not that familiar with Sabal brazoriensis seeds but I think they are slightly smaller than Sabal domingensis, Sabal 'Riverside' and Sabal mexicana seeds which are quite large. The Sabal miamiensis seeds are roughly the size of Sabal minor. Your seeds don't appear to be quite as large as mexicana but closer to the size of guatemalensis. I think I got some brazoriensis seeds from @Matt N ...
Hi, looking preferably for a video or instructions on how to trim the sides of a mature Sabal Palm. Picture1 is what the sides of the trunk currently look like. Picture2 is what I would like the sides of the trunk to look like. Thanks.
Welcome to PalmTalk! Here in Florida, the slow-release types of 8-2-12 + micronutrients fertilizers like Florikan and Lesco are used a lot. For your particular location, a lot of it will depend on your soil makeup. Is it mostly clay? sand? loam? Hope a few folks from NC can chime in as the soils where you're located are likely a lot different than here.
Hello, I had a brutal war with some fungal infection on this palm and screwed up my original potting mix (too much coir, not enough aeration/drainage additives). I read that clustering palms can grow back from just their stems/trunks, but the content was a little confusing. Anyway, I applied some...
