Common Name: Hispaniola Palm
Sabal domingensis is one of the larger Sabals and a pretty nice palm for many areas of California. This species seems maybe a bit more resistant to potassium deficiency. Unfortunately is a slow growing palm, and takes many years to develop into a mature tree, somewhat reducing its usefulness as a landscape species. It also seems to be reluctant to attain the massive potential spread and size as it often reaches in Florida and other tropical climates.
