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. |
