How long does it take Sabal palm fronds to regenerate?

[jdl]

If I get a regenerated sabal palm where they cut the fronds off, how long would it take for it to grow a full canopy?

I have seen them grow them back in a season it depends where it is!

depends on weather, how long your growing season is and how stressed the palm is.   Did you say ALL fronds, that would seriously slow things down by shrinking photosynthesis rate.  Photosynthesis is required to build all those leaves.   I going to guess that with a happy palm with an established root system in 9a, it might take as much as 3-4 growing.  In my area(9B/10A) florida. these turn over their crowns in about 2yrs from a hurricane cut which still has ~3 leaves after a cut.  Might be the first year not much happens, a few leaves.  If that "regenerated sabal palm" is a log, a trunk with small rootball and no leaves to be planted it may take 4-5 years to be at full canopy.

We're coming up on 3 years in the ground. I'm in the southeastern coastal plains, zone 8b. Since being planted it's gotten 3 courses of fertilizer each growing season

its a good palm to just overwinter for years cause they grow soo slow. like a 7a experiment they will take YEARS before they get too tall to handle
