Can anyone please help ID my sabal palm by looking at the seeds it produced for the first time this season. The seeds are quite huge and the palm was given to me about eight years ago as a seedling and has been growing very fast. Any comments will be much appreciated...Thank you!

It's hard to tell without seeing the seed itself or the rest of the palm, but based on the size of the fruit I'd guess either S. mexicana, pumos, 'Riverside', rosei or domingensis which all have a much larger seed than palmetto and the others.  Could also be S. guatemalensis based on larger seed size but there aren't many of them around and I don't consider them very fast.  I grow mexicana, and Riverside also and they grow pretty fast for a Sabal.  Also the local mexicana are in this stage of fruiting right now as well and should ripen up in the next 4-6 weeks.
