How fast do Sabal palmetto palms grow

Documenting growth of a sable palmetto palm tree in Ontario Canada

[@DFW_Productions]

In my town, we have these Sabal palms at a park and there are a bunch of seedlings that easily come out of the ground, so I took some, and the biggest one that I took is about 4 or 5 years old and is doing perfect

[@Hobert-v4s]

Canada you say?how do you keep it warm in subzero weather? Seemingly impossible if you ask me!

[@petewinslowofficial]

I have these in Wilmington NC, they’re probably about 20 years old, very healthy

[@fanpalm8460]

Sabal palms are cool! I like the way they grow and their appearance. Please give an update on your Sabal palmetto seedlings.

[@Hobert-v4s]

A great way to restore the oldsouth,s wild terain is plant and grow lots of sabals!!

[@natrone23]

Danm didn’t know you can grow a sabal in Canada like the one growing next your house

[@freerobuxcheckmychannel2521]

It's beerly hanging on

[@Sandor68]

I have some Sabal X Brazoriensis (Texensis) seedlings from Banana Joe and seem to be growing a little faster than my other Sabal varieties.

Sandor Fazekas Awesome maybe I’ll have to try some

I’m in 7a 6b borderline Can sabal palmetto grow in a pot so I can bring it into a garage in the wintertime. Or should I just grow it outside and protect

@South FIorida U.S.A Two weeks ago I ordered some borassus aethiopum aka African fan palm seeds on Etsy all the way from Ghana

[@jamestropicals8262]

@South FIorida U.S.A they sprouted

[@jamestropicals8262]

⁠@13ased_Americanthey have a root but they would never shoot up the top growth of the palm and they failed so I got a live Borassus aethiopum palm off of Etsy

[@henrickstelzer154]

can we have an update on these?

[@jamestropicals8262]

I think date palms are a little less slow growing palms then sabal palms but there both very slow

I’m jealous

[@jamestropicals8262]

Not sure if I’m going to grow a sabal palmetto, since there so slow a seedling here would grow so slow and then maybe weaken and eventually die

[@freerobuxcheckmychannel2521]

If you give them humidity they'll thrive but still grow very slow

Come to the Carolina’s James palm!

I live in northern Georgia hope they do good here

[@TheJames2929]

Northern Georgia is a little bit of a push for them southern Georgia they do quite fine anything south of Atlanta they are definitely borderline zone there in Atlanta. Near the coast like Savannah is the best for them

Does wind ruin these palm's fronds? I know wind just tatters the Trachy fronds.

[@TheJames2929]

Mick Obrien no wind will not damage these leaves at all. you will see a palmetto at 120 mile an hour wind in a hurricane with all of its leaves on

[@mickobrien3156]

@@TheJames2929 I know the leaves will stay attached... but on some palms, like the Trachy, they just look all beat to hell, like an old shredded flag just flopping around in the wind. But OK. Since you have one I'll obviously take your word that too much wind doesn't make them look bad.

[@TheJames2929]

Mick Obrien Yeah for sure

@@TheJames2929 One last question... Have you ever used infrared thermal heaters? You know, because they don't waste energy heating air, they just directly heat objects... Ever use them? I still don't know why nobody on border USDA zones aren't using these things yet.

Sabal palm trees or sabal palmettos I have one it's like 6 months old not a year old yet and it has 2 strap leaves plus the one that's half way out I hope it's not too slow but my washingtonia robust are definitely bigger and have more leaves I started my palmettos and my robust at the same time there is definitely a difference between the palmetto and the washingtonia robusta
