State Trees Series: Florida, Sabal Palm

The state tree of Florida is the sabal palm (Sabal palmetto), designated in 1953. Also known as the cabbage palm, this hardy tree thrives in Florida's warm, coastal climate and is highly resistant to hurricanes and drought. Its fan-shaped leaves provide shade, and its small berries serve as food for wildlife. Historically, Native Americans and early settlers used the tree's fibers for thatching and weaving. The State Trees collection is a unique way to show your state pride! Choose your state, or pick your favorite tree from the collection and watch it come to life.
