Sabal palmetto, the common native palm of the
Southeastern states, is one of the trees called
cabbage palm; it has an erect stem and
fan-shaped leaves that are edible when young.
Palmetto wood is used for pilings and the leaves
for thatch. South Carolina, where the tree is
indigenous, is sometimes called the Palmetto

areas and is hardy to 10-degrees F. or lower.
