Large evergreen palm perfect for subtropical and coastal landscapes
Sabal bermudana, commonly known as the Bermuda Palmetto, is a large, evergreen palm native to the islands of Bermuda. It is one of the few species of palms that are endemic to the subtropical regions of the Atlantic. This palm is known for its impressive height, fan-shaped fronds, and ability to withstand harsh coastal conditions, including strong winds and salt spray.
The Bermuda Palmetto can reach heights of 10–20 meters (33–66 feet) with a thick, sturdy trunk that can be up to 60 cm (2 feet) in diameter. The trunk is typically smooth and grayish-brown, marked with the scars of fallen fronds. The crown consists of large, fan-shaped leaves (fronds), each measuring up to 2 meters (6.5 feet) across, with a blue-green hue. These fronds create a dense, rounded canopy that provides excellent shade.
Sabal bermudana thrives in full sun. It requires at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight each day to grow optimally and maintain its health and vibrant foliage.
This palm is hardy in USDA zones 9b–11. It can tolerate brief periods of cold, down to -6 °C (21 °F), but it thrives in warm, subtropical, or coastal climates with minimal frost risk.
Sabal bermudana prefers well-draining, sandy, or loamy soils, although it can tolerate a range of soil types, including clay. It is highly tolerant of saline soils, making it ideal for coastal areas.
This palm is drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering during its early growth stages. Ensure the soil dries out between waterings to avoid waterlogging. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and plant the palm at the same depth as it was in its container. Water thoroughly after planting. The Bermuda Palmetto is suitable for large gardens, parks, or coastal landscapes.
Fertilize Sabal bermudana with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer designed for palms, applying in the spring and summer. Reduce or stop fertilization during the fall and winter months to allow the plant to rest.
This palm requires minimal maintenance. Remove dead or damaged fronds to maintain a tidy appearance. The Bermuda Palmetto is resistant to most pests and diseases. It's a slow-growing species, so it doesn't require frequent pruning. Be mindful of its size as it can grow quite large over time.
