| Great pictures of one of my favorite palms(S.birmingham).I wonder how old they are?I have one that is a fifteen gallon size.Everything i've read about them say there very slow growing.Mine is working on it's 4Th frond this year. I don't know if that's considered slow or not for a Sabal palm.There was a big deal made about this palm a few years ago,but now you really don't hear much about them.I haven't even seen them for sale on ebay this year.I think it's a great Sabal palm for people in colder regions.I like the look of the one that got a good hair cut,heck I like all of them.They look very healthy and happy.It makes me wish I lived closer to Garry's Nursery in NC.Thanks for posting those pictures.

| What zone is Raleigh? I thought it was zone 7. The sabals look good! Nice park. |
|
| Raleigh is about the same as us. 7b on the edge of 8a. They can get colder earlier and bigger drops, but generally have warmer winter average highs. |
|
| I'd assume they are at least 20 years old. I've gotten 3-4 leaves out of Birmingham which is inline with other Sabal at the same size. |
