We are beyond thrilled to be able to offer seedlings of Sabal brazoriensis. This particular parent is located in Greene County, GA and is a very vigorous grower!
Some information from PDN belowSabal x brazoriensis, a rare palm from Brazoria County, Texas, was identified by DNA in 2011 as an ancient hybrid between Sabal palmetto (above ground trunk) and Sabal minor (below ground trunk). Sabal x brazoriensis is the hardiest of the trunked sabal palms and should reach 20' tall with maturity. We have reports from Arkansas that these have sailed through a -15 degree F winter. The giant, green, fan-shaped leaves are typical sabal foliage, but the growth rate in our trials has been twice that of Sabal minor. Our offerings are two- to three-year-old seedlings. Because of the confusion with the name, Sabal x texensis, which is an old name for the less hardy Sabal mexicana, a new name of Sabal x brazoriensis was published for this plant in 2011.
We have many of these growing here in DFW zone 8a and they absolutely sail through our winters. If you are in zone 7a (possibly 6b with protection) and above, you should be growing Sabal brazoriensis! We will be listing a larger size of these soon as this is our second batch.
