In 2006, I was fortunate to accompany palm guru Gary Hollar to see the 10' tall giant Sabal minors growing in the Pamlico County, NC town of Oriental. We are pleased to offer seedlings from this special site, which with time and good growing conditions should achieve a similar height to the giant parents. The parent plants were growing in rich, moist, sandy woodlands. If you can grow them to a larger size before establishment outdoors, they should be much hardier than our listed Zone 7.
