I've recently picked up a new bike, and I've been riding around the area snapping photos, and that made me wonder how the palms I'm seeing made it through the big freeze of 2021. Then I looked further back and I was surprised at just how fast these can grow, especially given how terrible the soil is in this area (Boerne/Fair Oaks Ranch). 

The first palm is 2024 vs 2011.

The second is 2023 vs 2016! It's very impressive how fast Sabals can grow here. Feel free to add your own photos too. :greenthumb:

These also surprise me with how tough they are. Here's a photo from last week.

So February 2024 vs September 2023 vs 2011.
