Serenoa repens

[cfkingfish]

Here is a picture from a South Venice garden of Serenoa repens trimmed up from habitat. You can see that it easily towers over my 5'10 figure, and the trunk must be 15' long. These things weave all over the place in areas still uncleared for development.

Great specimen Christian.  It's nice when part of the clump doesn't crawl.

Christian,

     This palm is really nice, especially old specimans with trunks. Thanks.

Took this pic back in 1985 in Kenneth City, my wife standing in for scale. Unfortunately, this serenoa was later bulldozed by a new owner of the property.

Nice palm Christian.I run across alot of nice ones when doing land clearing.Its too bad they are so difficult to transplant(for me anyways).Ive had many a customer tell me to rip em out,and throw them in the burn pile.I try once to talk em out of it,but theres some folks who just dont like,or appreciate palms.Ive tried 4 or 5 times with no success to dig them,and replant them at my place.Ive even tried digging,and transporting them in the rain.After a month or two,they just turn brown,and die

I think that someone pointed out that the Serenoa from central Floriduh is more prone to grow upright.  I would have to agree seeing these pics and seeing the more prostrate habits in South Florida.  It is a shame that people don't realize it takes decades for a Serenoa to get that big, and then carelessly bulldoze it.
