Sabal x ‘Birmingham’ – Another young experiment for me. This is its second winter in a pot. These love heat and can form palmate fronds several feet across, much larger than the Trachys. I will keep this in pots, periodically up-potting for several more years. It’s origin is confused. Some palm experts think one parent is S. minor which is very slow. In North Carolina these can take 13 years before they start to form a trunk! So, ten more years??? No problem! On the plus side, S. minor has added considerably to this palm’s hardiness. I have a vision of this at the top of my retaining wall when we redo the fence.
