This iconic palm is the state tree of South Carolina and Florida and is prized for its strong trunk, large fan-shaped leaves, and exceptional durability.
Sabal palmetto thrives in coastal landscapes, southern gardens, streetscapes, and large containers. It is highly tolerant of heat, humidity, salt spray, wind, and poor soils, making it one of the toughest ornamental palms available.
