I have a young palm in front of my house that was labeled "Sabal texana" when I bought it (at Smithfield Gardens in Suffolk, VA?) a few years ago.  I assumed that it would turn out to be a 'Brazoriensis."  It has (slowly) developed papery legumes, similar to Sabal causiarum.  It is growing among bamboo roots and is holding its own.  Hardiness at this young age is similar to S palmetto.  Any guesses as to which Sabal this really is?

Welcome to PT =) Unfortunately I can't help you with your Sabal ID. As per usual very hard to differentiate at that size. I'll say this I don't think it's a Minor type unless it's growing in heavy shade ? It's a good looking palm regardless whatever it ends up being !!
