Sabal bermudana – Bermuda Palmetto Seeds

Sabal bermudana, commonly known as the Bermuda palmetto, is a medium-sized palm that typically reaches heights of 7–15 meters (23–50 feet). It has a stout, smooth, gray trunk and a dense crown of large, fan-shaped fronds that are bluish-green and can grow up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) wide. The fronds have a costapalmate structure, giving them a slightly curved appearance. It produces small, white flowers in branched inflorescences, followed by black, round fruits.

Endemic to Bermuda, the Bermuda palmetto thrives in sandy, well-drained soils and is highly tolerant of salt and wind, making it ideal for coastal areas. It is moderately drought-tolerant and can survive cold temperatures as low as -9°C (16°F). This palm is a symbol of Bermuda’s natural heritage and is used in landscaping for its hardiness and distinctive beauty
