About Sabal minor
This species is a diminutive fan palm that is native to rich soils of moist forests, ravines, flood plains and bottomlands. In the landscape, it is noted for its excellent winter hardiness and tropical appearance.
Cultivation Tips
It is one of the most winter-hardy palm species found in North America; it will also tolerate frost. However, it grows best in hot and humid tropical and subtropical summer weather. Just like the weather conditions, the plant easily grows in a variety of light conditions too. While it does well in direct sunlight to partial shade or even full shade, it thrives when planted in full sun protected from the wind. Feed occasionally during the growing season with a high quality palm fertilizer.
