My buddy who just moved to Charleston sent me a pic for an ID- something he saw driving around. I thought mass planting Sabal minor at first but then realized it's more likely Serenoa repens. I've never been to these areas to see repens in habitat, or like this in 'The South'. The only ones I have here at my place in California are TINY, so I'm out of touch.

Can anyone elaborate on these types of plantings? Is it that the plants were native to that spot and the owners kept the plants, or were these brought in? It looks like a newer house so I they're either native or transplanted, but I didn't think Serenoa moved easily.

Thanks for your thoughts

Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year.

Hot, dry summers. Cold, wet winters.

Allmost 100% sure they are planted there and not native. It looks too tidy to be habitat palms and there is mulch in between as well.

They're all the same size I would expect old Serenoa to have variation in size, pups, etc..

If those are serenoa repens they could get 15' wide, each.  I cant tell, need a closeup to determine fi that is what they are.

Zooming in on my phone definitely looks more like S.Minor to me. Not 100% sure, since it gets blurry when close haha There is a ton of palms there regardless what they are. Better then grass right !

Not gonna chip in with ID, since whatever it is I haven't grown that species. But those are way too close together. Ridiculous and wasteful planting. I have no respect for people like that.

Species I'm growing from seed: Verschaffeltia splendida, Chrysalidocarpus leptocheilos, Licuala grandis, Hyophorbe verschaffeltii, Johannesteijsmannia altifrons, Bentinckia condapanna, Livistona benthamii, Licuala mattanensis 'Mapu'.

I don't know why so many are there. I would have centered them four to six feet apart.
