Florida Cherry Palm (Pseudophoenix sargentii) Habitat Pictures?

[PalmTreeDude]

I heard that Pseudophoenix sargentii was native to Florida and according to the USDA Plant Database (https://plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=PSSA)  it is at the very Southern tip of Florida. Has anyone ever seen these growing wild or have pictures of wild ones?

I’ve seen some great habitat photos here on the forum including some very old shots.

These ones are pics I took on Long Key. The rest are various pics I've found online.

Other than the keys, are there any other notable stands of them?

Long Key and Elliot Key are the only two locations where they grow naturally.

Does that mean that those are the only ones left or the only places where they ever grew naturally in Florida?

They naturally grew on those two keys plus Sands Key (a small island just north of Elliott Key). They were extirpated from Long Key and Sands Key at some point, but re-introduced to Long Key by Fairchild from seeds collected from the native population on Elliott Key.

I am glad they re-introduced them!

Fairchild did a crap ton of reintroducing this species to its native habitats. I wish I still had the article to share with you. It was reeeally fascinating and informative!  Do any of the Fairchild Members still have that issue of The Tropical Garden Magazine?
