@AC73LoveCats , hi Jane. Thank you. Here is some information on the Sabel Palm from the internet.
The sabal palm, also known as Sabal palmetto or cabbage palm, is a hardy tree native to the southeastern United States, particularly Florida and the Carolinas. It is recognized for its fan-shaped leaves and is the state tree of both Florida and South Carolina, often used in landscaping due to its drought and salt tolerance.

Characteristics
Physical Attributes
ATTRIBUTE DESCRIPTION
Height Up to 80 feet (24 m), tallest recorded at 93 feet
Trunk Diameter 10-16 inches (25-40 cm)
Leaf Type Costapalmate, fan-shaped leaves
Leaf Length 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 m)
Canopy Full, round canopy
Growth and Lifespan
Lifespan: Over 100 years
Growth Rate: Slow, with visible trunk development taking 15-30 years
Habitat: Thrives in subtropical climates, often found in coastal areas, swamps, and floodplain forests
Uses and Benefits
Culinary: The edible heart of the palm has a cabbage-like flavor, often referred to as "swamp cabbage."
Ecological: Provides habitat and food for various wildlife, including birds and small mammals.
Landscaping: Popular in gardens and coastal areas due to its drought and salt tolerance.
Cultivation and Care
Transplanting: Typically dug from the wild; requires careful handling due to its unique root system.
Watering: Benefits from regular light watering but is drought-tolerant.
Fertilization: Needs potassium for healthy growth; deficiencies can lead to leaf loss.
# #What makes them differ from other palms? Sabal palms are valued for their resilience and adaptability, making them a staple in Florida's landscapes. Sabal palms are unique because they have costapalmate fronds, unarmed petioles (smooth without thorns), and split leaf bases where the fronds attach to the stem. They are also more closely related to grasses than to typical trees, lacking bark and having trunks made of tightly packed fibers.

Wow, this picture is amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen pries like this like so many in one field in my life. I don’t know why some people hate on them so much they’re literally amazing. Yes they don’t produce wood, but they are amazing.
