State Trees Series: South Carolina, Sabal Palm

The state tree of South Carolina is the sabal palm (Sabal palmetto), designated in 1939. Also known as the cabbage palmetto, this hardy tree thrives in the state's coastal regions and is highly resistant to hurricanes and saltwater. Its fan-shaped leaves and tall, slender trunk make it a distinctive part of South Carolina's landscape. Historically, its wood was used to build fortifications, including those at Fort Moultrie during the Revolutionary War. The tree symbolizes strength, resilience, and South Carolina's coastal heritage. The State Trees collection is a unique way to show your state pride!
