The cabbage palm is South Carolina’s and Florida’s state tree. Cabbage palm is on the flag of South Carolina and on Florida's Great Seal.
The palm is well suited to use as a street planting, framing tree, specimen, or clustered in informal groupings of varying size. Cabbage Palm is ideal for seaside locations. The four to five-foot-long, creamy white, showy flower stalks in the summer are followed by small, shiny, green to black fruits which are relished by squirrels, raccoons, and other wildlife. There are no coconuts.
