Aka Everglades Palm, Paurotis Palm, Silver Saw Palm: This is a native US palm (Florida more specifically) where it grows in bogs and heavily wooded areas. This is a suckering fan palm with relatively thin trunks (3"-5" in diameter) and grows up to nearly 20' tall. leaves are light green, relatively thin and about 1/3-1/2 circle. Petioles are sometimes armed with very sharp teeth, but not always. Though very cold tolerant and moderately drought tolerant in humid climates, this palm needs regular water to survive in the desert, particularly when young.
