In a Nutshell:
* Sabal minor , commonly known as the Dwarf Palmetto , is one of about 14 species of palmetto palm (Arecaceae, genus Sabal ). It is native to the southeastern United States , ranging from Florida north to eastern North Carolina , and west to eastern Oklahoma and eastern Texas . Although it is mainly found in the southern states, it is one of the only palms that can stand somewhat cooler temperatures, and can be found as north as southcentral Pennsylvania . It is one of the most frost tolerant palms, surviving temperatures as low as -18°C (among North American palms, second only to the Needle Palm Rhapidophyllum hystrix ). Its cold-hardiness is variable throughout its range with the Oklahoma native population believed by many to be the cold-hardiest population. more...
