Are Sabal Palmettos cold-hardy?
Sabal Palmettos are considered cold hardy. They can tolerate sustained temperatures down to 15°F, with short drops to 10°F.
Are Sabal Palmettos the same as Sabal Minors?
Sabal Pamettos are not the same thing as Sabal Minors, also known as Dwarf Palmettos. However, when Sabal Palmettos are young and have not developed a trunk, they can closely resemble Sabal Minors due to their similar looking fronds.
Can I plant a Sabal Palmetto in a group?
Sabal Palmettos make a stunning visual impact when planted in groups, especially with staggered sizes, allowing their canopies to grow at varying heights for a more dynamic, natural look.
