Sabal minor... or not?
Hey y'all
Is it possible to id this young palm? http://www.palmenmann.de/shop/de/Jungpf ... abal-minor . I found some discussion on the internet saying they probably sell S. palmetto instead of S. minor. What do you say?

I have personly never had that problem. The thing with me you can tell also sometimes. it it grows very slowly its a sabal minor grows at must faster then you wre ripped off and only got a cabbage palm. I have both they do look closely the same those. I wish you look.
Nobody panics when people plant normal trees because its part of the plan... if someone plants a Palm EVERYONE LOSES THERE MINDS!

I have some young S. minor, but no S.palmettos.
Great pic at the link; mine don't have the blue leaves, nor are they as long as those photographed.
But I haven't given mine the best care.
This year, I'll sink the pots into the fishpond in the hope they grow faster.
Would emailing the grower give you any ID tips for young Sabals of any variety?

marceli, found this on the EPS forum:
Barb
from here: http://www.palmsociety.org.uk/forum/top ... picid=6461This species, together with some others in the genus Sabal ,can be distibguished only by the inflorescence shape and by the fruits size. With the only exception of mauritiiformis, every species of the genus Sabal shows threads in the leaves and many show arching and also very arching leaves with a variable costa. About this problem you have to wait untill your palm sets fruits. The inflorescence is as long as the leaves, it is much large and the fruits are big, about 2 cm in diameter.

It is difficult to distinguish small Sabal specimens. I bought a much larger Sabal Minor a few years ago and posted it on the EPS only for the same learned Gentleman Sergio to say sorry not Minor.. it has filaments in its leaves I do now have a Minor of a largish size and can see the leaves are fatter and much bluer than my Minor. Perhaps a Palmetto and rock solid hardy for me if very slow growing.

So the best id method is to buy S. minor seeds and wait couple years, I guess Thx for your help.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Hello. In the Natoinal Botanical Garden (Kyiv, Ukraine) near greenhouse I found potted sabals. Can you help me to identify the species of these sabals (minor or palmetto)?
[as I know, young sabal palmetto is very similar to sabal minor]
Here you can see photos of these palms: http://www.flickr.com/photos/102902888@ ... 800502503/
