Newly planted Sabal's
Had both a McCurtin and Cape Hatteras Sabal that I bought this spring from Steve Anderson and both had been in the grow pots they came in and after reading here in posts about Sabal's not doing as well in pots as they would in the ground decided to plant them up.
Both will be somewhat protected by the house, but will take steps to protect them more this winter. The Cape Hatteras I put 6ft of heat tape surrounding the root ball in the hole.

Nice plants...
Good idea to protect them as well. Ive wiped out "hardy" plants here because I didnt protect them better the first winter like juniper (yes, I killed juniper).

This spring we had a huge setback because we had one last snow the first week of MAY! (has never happened in the 54 years I've lived here) quite a few of my potted palms were out on the patio already, and stuff in the ground was uncovered. The weight of the snow since it was so wet, broke fronds and branches, then the fungus came and damaged some more. Most have done a great job in recovery, but you can still see some damage.
Maybe you had a similar spring and it was a surprise to the Juniper?....although, I didn't think anything killed them!

The Cape Hatteras will get a lot of morning sun, and will protect both of them with a cover this winter.

Scott.... there's a guy over here in the UK who uses heated cables in the ground. This warms up the soil a lot and he has better than average growth with his Minor .... they aren't that quick over here and you are lucky to get more than two leaves in a season. Never heard of the Cape Hatteras form before. I have two Sabals... a Minor and an unknown. Can you or anyone else identify this Sabal. Grows really well here four leaves this year and no Winter damage except for one spear that refused to open.

andym.....I'm not versed well enough in palm identification to name that Sabal.
I too use the heat tape cables around the root ball to help keep the roots from freezing in the winter weather. The ones here in the states have a built in thermostat much like a Thermocube works with a indicator light so you can see at a glance if it's on.

The smaller one that is in the ground? It's a Mc Curtin.

Is your unknown bluer than ordinary minor? Maybe Blackburn or Birmingham [/quote]
Could be Birmingham whatever Birmingham originated from. Leaves do look more blue and perhaps wider than my Minor. There are also filaments on the leaves. I had so much rain at the beginning of last Winter the leaves were covered in algae Apologies Scott for interrupting your thread.

I will. I'm sure the Mc Curtain will do ok, but really hope the Cape Hatteras makes it. It's a larger, nice looking Sabal.

I plan on it. Will have a short 1/2 barrel around it with some straw and cover.

Yeah, those blue Sabal leaves are truly lovely.
Nice big one Andy.
Good idea for winter protection, Scott.
Mine can be the "test"...they're staying in pots
