Not sure where the OP is looking when he's out in the country, since there are NATIVE sabal palmettos growing all over Florida.

I currently have five different species of palms growing here in Birmingham and when we finally move to TV I certainly hope our neighbors don't have a strong dislike for palms. I can guarantee that our property will be quite palmy, in fact I hope to have a nice variety of different palms similar to what Jimbo is growing. Can hardly wait for the day........
