Sabal
Palmetto * Saw Palmetto, Cabbage Palm, Blue Palm |
The Saw Palmetto Palms are noted for
their medicinal properties as well as their tropical beauty. Sabal
palmetto trees can get to 90 feet
tall, though that would be unlikely here on the west coast. They have small
1/2" black fruit. The oils of the fruit are extracted for medical preparations.
Sabal palmetto is native to Florida and the Carolinas and the Bahamas. Their range
also extends into Texas. The minimum temperatures they can take are in the low
20's. That leaves a lot of California with potential for growing these beautiful
Sabal palmetto trees.
