That is one weird Sabal! Cool too that it is true to seed. I guess when you are surrounded by hundreds of millions of them an odd one gets attention.

I think someone has a pic of the mother palm :o

I DIG PALMS

Dear Friends :)

those stills are indeed beautiful and that palm looks cool.. :drool: Since once freaky palm guy(Matt) had posted a Med fan Palm which was then supposed to be a Hybrid or var.of Valcano.and it really struck me that variation or hybrid sometimes looks very out of the way preety than the regular or standard form.. :hmm:

Lots of love,

Kris :)

love conquers all..

I'd heard that these weren't necessarily true to seed, but that you have to wait a while to see whether they are or not. That's what kept me from buying seedlings before. ??

Michael,

Check out website for Seabreeze Palms in Fort Myers. I think they have them in 1 gal. A link to them is in the For Sale subforum. I will post my photos of two local Lisas when I get home tonight.

Also, see my avatar. It is one of those Lisas

Thanks Meg,

Yes, we do have them in 4" container size. They come up about 80-90% true when collected off of a Sabal Lisa mother (the 10-20% oddballs come up as normal Sabal palmettos). I can ID them with some level of confidence by the time they get about 3 strap leaves- the strap leaves are slightly cupped at the end and tend to curl a little. They are also sightly more blue than a standard S. palmetto seedling. (I can't be 100% certain of course...but we've sprouted thousands of them so far.)

PM me if you're interested in trying a few...
