Description:
Sabal palmetto is one of the most cold-hardy species of the sabal family. It can survive temperatures of -10°C.

The saw palmetto is an imposing palm with a single stipe whose height varies from 5 to 20 meters. The stipe reaches up to 40 centimeters in diameter, it is gray in color, cracked and covered with petiolar bases.

The crown comprises about twenty leaves. The leaves are webbed and composed of approximately 60 rigid segments split at the base for part of their length. The petiole is robust, green and smooth, and sometimes measures 2 meters. The leaves are up to 1.5 meters wide and are bluish green and glaucous.

The inflorescences are annual and interfoliar (appear between the leaves). They are branched, arched and protrude from the crown of the palms.

The fruits are black and the floury flesh encloses the seed.

Sabal palmetto grows in moist soils near the sea, but also in dunes, along rivers and in wet and flooded areas.

Its good resistance to cold also makes it a very popular palm in more temperate regions.
