Sabal minor

Sabal Palm (Dwarf Palmetto)

This slow-growing native palm forms attractive fan-shaped blue-green foliage and brings a tropical look to landscapes. Fragrant summer flowers attract pollinators, followed by blue-black fruit that provides food for birds and other wildlife. Adaptable to a range of soils, it is drought tolerant once established, moderately salt tolerant, and rarely browsed by deer, making it an excellent choice for specimen, understory, or foundation plantings.
