My friend who works on the Louisiana waterways is now always on the lookout for nice palms specimens to send me. He says this one is approx 12 feet high and trunk is approx 30" in diameter. He also says there is a much larger one nearby, but access to it has been gated off.

The ghostly silvery foliage in the background is also very interesting. Do you know what it is ?

Kumar, that is Spanish Moss (Tillandsia usneoides). It is prevalent throughout much of South Louisiana. Sadly, I have none on my property. I have tried several times, unsuccessfully, to establish on my Live Oaks.

Can't get a more classic picture of sabal minor, what a backdrop! That's a picture worth framing!

Thank you Keith, what a great backdrop it makes (some sources classify it as invasive!); I am now on a vine/liana/epiphyte gathering mission so this will be added to my list.

That is exactly where this one was, right on the border of Plaquemines and Jefferson Parish.
