Judd,
every tree you see there is a sabal palm or in local lingo cabbage palm. The one on the right is very old and lost all of it's branch remnants while the cross pattern is younger and shows where the branches were trimmed as they die off. I have cabbage palms by the millions as they seed and grow everywhere.

Last few days have been planting seedlings of other palms along with seeds for the Silver Saw Palmetto. I guess if they all grow I'll have about 75 silver saws to plant around my generator. But they tell me it's take at least three months for them to germinate and I suspect that by then the pots I put them in will be buried in weeds. :-) Weeds grow here as soon as I put dirt outside. The air must be full of the stuff.

Here's my little nursery.
