The State Tree of both Florida and South Carolina is the Cabbage Palm (Sabal Palmetto). It is native to Florida, cold hardy, drought tolerant, and requires little or no maintenance after becoming thoroughly established.

It has a mature height of about 90 feet, with a heavy trunk about 2 feet diameter.

The palms in the upper photo are really neat. They seem shorter than some palms, but not as short as some of the bushier varieties. Those pictured in the bottom photo remind me of similar varieties I've seen in Hawaii.

Kwee, palm trees are so regal, wish we could grow them here, but too cold in the winter. Have a wonderful weekend my friend!

Kwee I love palm trees especially when the ocean is right there. I remember being mesmerized watching them in a windstorm.

The trees in 2 pictures are the same - cabbage palm, the 2nd picture is the zoom in to show the leaves. You may see cabbage palm trees on the roadsides, near the beaches, in the parks, front and back yards, almost everywhere, because there are native and required not much care.

Hi Kwee,

I like these palms as they have cute skinny trunks. I have several kinds in my yard but they are not as nice. I just had to pay to have my dates removed as the dogs like to chew on them and they make a mess. I like the way the trees in your photo are leaning.
