Steve Anderson thought it could go into lower teens. Mind kind of languished in the pot it came it, but stated to take off in the ground.
Seems very happy in it's 55 gallon plastic barrel protection.

Jim, doesn't that require downloading pics to a secondary site first?

Awesome size palm. Dont those have the costapalmate fronds? If so will give you a very nice look once its mature.

costapalmate fronds? don't know what that is, and Google wasn't very clear.

Sabal palm fronds.
Posted : 28/12/2013 11:46 am
started to take off in the ground.
Yeah, sabals hate being potted, and sulk until planted out.
I've got a few that don't look much larger than when I received them ~5 years ago.
Going to plant mine this year.
They'll have no winter heat.

Yea, I was shocked how fast the Cape Hattaras Sabal took off once in the ground. I bought it on the large size=more money too so would have felt bad if it had died. The little McCurtin was just $12 so not as big of loss if it died, but it seems to be happy where it's at. Never thought much about Sabals before but like them now because they seem so easy.

I wasn't impressed with them either, but when seedlings put out very long strap leaves, pretty nice.

Right...
Thanks to Barb and Jim I started posting pics using the links to the secondary sites. Mine is PicasaWeb (Google +)

I do have a photo bucket account, but didn't see how to transfer pics from there directly to the forum here.

posting pics using the links to the secondary sites.
Otherwise your hard drive gets too full ~5,000 photos on my Flickr account.
Scott, photobucket must have instructions somewhere.
But here's a good discussion on it: http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/24142/image-hotlinking-providers

EDIT: if you decide to go with Flickr, read this first (includes instructions):

Wish it could be done through facebook. Have many palm/plant related albums on there.

FB is "very jealous".
Doesn't want anyone going anywhere else. 😆
