Hi - Another question - The Sabal Yapa. I was looking at this pic online and was shocked by it's size.....

see pic of Sabal Yapa

Is that really a Sabal Yapa?!?! Wow!

I was going to plant it in an area infront of a retaining wall, but maybe that's not such a good Idea. Any ideas?

In these pics... the first two are shots of the palm I bought at Phil's, the third is where I want to plant it... Dieter's modelling for scale.

Thanks! I appreciate any input! :)

If you really want it there, I say Do it. Every yard needs a little Vallezocity. Also you can keep it trimmed a bit more vertical if need be untill it has grown high enough.

Nice little xerophila next to it also. Another JM score?

Sabals can sprawl and take up a lot of room in their juvinile stages, and it takes them forever to grow up.

Matt - Actually the xerophila is from JM. I'm looking forward to getting it planted too.

Paul - My latest plantings are inspired by the density of your garden.

Hmmm .... it's tempting. Does anybody know what the width of the base gets up to?

I think yours looks like maritiiformis.

Also the palm in the picture is a very small one. They get Much bigger. The petioles are however about the final length. Remember too that Yapa has two forms, large and small.

I would not plant it close to anything unless you just don't care what happens.

The trunk can be (with old leaf bases) more than 4 feet across.

Ken - First you think Scott has a mauritiiformis, then you say the trunk can get 4ft thick with old leaf bases. If it's a mauritiiformis, isn't the trunk MUCH thinner than a yapa?

Ok you # heads.

If it is yapa it gets SO big and if it is maurit it gets just a little bit bigger, or smaller, depending on the growing condition.

If it is growing in Califopinia then who cares?

And if it is in Matty Bees yard it will die.

If Poho is growing it he can plant it wherever the hell he feels like! He is my new boyfriend and Matty you are out in the cold!

Oh shoot. I'v been drinking Daves beer. Sorry if the above information is wrong>>>>>

You guys are savage!

I've got a few Sabal yapa's about the size of the one in the first post - can anyone tell me how cold hardy they are?

We get down to around 0C (32F) a few times a year. A few good frosts.

I've read they're not as tough as some other Sabals (I've also got S. minor, palmetto and bermudana)???

No problems with room though - 23 acres of it!

Cheers,

Jonathan

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Dear Scotty :)

Nice palm but decide your location first before you plant it.since it should not give you another work of transplanting it later on...

And the pet seems to be very photo friendly..and seem to be wherever you are... :)

thanks for those stills,

lots of love to you & your pet,

Kris :)

love conquers all..

Jonathan,

I planted 3 about the size of the first one posted 2 years ago. Frost, even with temperatures barely below freezing, seems to kill all leaves when the plant is this size. The palms tried to come back each spring, but I gave up on them this year. Perhaps larger sizes of S. yapa are more hardy.
