Here are some additional details on this perticular sabal :-

Sabal domingensis aka blackburniana aka umbraculifera Hispaniolan Palmetto: Native to the Island of Hispaniola, this Sabal has been reported cold hardy to 8F (-13C). Sabal domingensis prefers full sun and well-drained, sandy soil. Looks like a robust Sabal palmetto because its trunk may reach 60cm (24inches) without the boots! Its seed is 8-10mm. It's fruit is 12-14mm. Z8b, 8a.
