Comments: |
Our state tree, the cabbage
palm is the most carefree palm in our area. It is also a
valuable wildlife plant and highly tolerant of the worst
urban conditions. The most hurricane-proof of any tree
in our region. Just plant, water and forget about it. Do
not remove green fronds from this plant when pruning. |
