Texas Sabal Palm (Rio Grande Palmetto, Mexican Palmetto)

Plant in well-drained, sandy, lean soil in full sun; the Texas sabal palm is the only native palm of the Rio Grande Delta — a majestic, fan-leafed palm native to the last remaining wild groves at the southern tip of Texas, now found in only a few protected areas such as the Sabal Palm Sanctuary near Brownsville. It is closely related to the familiar Sabal palmetto of Florida and is one of the most cold-hardy and drought-tolerant of all native palms. The massive, deeply curved fan leaves on 5-6 foot stalks create a dramatic tropical silhouette; established trees develop a broad, imposing crown. Black fruits ripen in fall and are relished by birds. A premier palm for zone 8–11 Gulf Coast gardens — exceptionally wind, salt, and drought tolerant once established and requiring little maintenance. Grow from locally sourced nursery stock; wild populations are endangered. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 120–240 дюймів Висота: 240–600 дюймів Дні до схожості: 30–90 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 18–27°C
