Wow, beautiful Sabals.
Move to Canada, Steve, so we can buy from you. 😉
or to Europe 😉

Has anyone tried the Sabal Riverside? I just received a bunch of seeds from Cali that I am getting ready to germinate.

Obviously haven't been giving it the right conditions.
Really slow grower when young (aren't all Sabals???)
Good luck with your seeds.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Yup, all slow, but that one looks great. 😀

Hey Erik, meant to ask you:
Since Sabals like swampy ground, I've been thinking of putting pots into the fishpond.
Maybe just an inch or two immersed?
Our summer dry heat/wind is probably hard on them?
Think that might speed them up?

In habitat, most are in swampy ground or near streams (at least in McCurtain County, OK). But I do see some up high and dry.
Still, the biggest ones are in swamps. So, I say give it a try.
My little ones are in pots that sit in a container and so are usually damp.
Photo taken 1 minute ago--sure love cell phone Flickr app, plus our amazing weather lately:

Erik,
Yours have such long long leaves.
Beautiful.
OK, I'll give them a try in the fishpond this year.
I've seen that Flickr app emblazoned across the sign-in page...sure glad they removed the sound (I don't have a cellphone).
I was always "racing" the ad. 😆 😆
Got my hands on some McCurtain seeds this year.
Hope to have at least one come up.
Thanks!
Barb
