Sabal Palmetto Palm, A Favorite Tree of South Carolina and Florida

There are several varieties of Sabal Palm. Sabal peregrina, planted in Key West, grows to about 25 feet high. Sabal minor, a native Dwarf Palmetto, creates an exotic, usually stemless shrub, four feet high and wide. Older Dwarf Palmettos develop trunks to six feet tall. Sabal mexicana grows in Texas and looks similar to Sabal palmetto.
