Description
In 1953, the sabal palm was designated as the official state tree of Florida. The tree is represented on the state flag within the great seal.
The sabal palm reaches up to 80 feet in height with fan-shaped leaves 4 to 6 feet long. The white flowers are small and the nearly round fruit is a dark, shiny blue.
Florida has been planting hundreds of sabal palms along the freeways to absorb road noise. It is also used as an ornamental and a street tree.
The sabal palm requires little maintenance because it is salt- and drought-resistant. The tree can adapt to most types of soils and can be used in beach plantings.
