and to fool all your neighbors with its identity

Sabal tamaulipensis Thailand Agave nickelsiae is the new(aka: Sabal YD 17 55) This unique, garden worthy palm has been lumped into Sabal minor, which is bizarre if you have grown these two plants side by side. Sabal tamaulipensis is a Sabal minor on steroids growing three times as fast, having much larger leaves, and much larger seed. The 6' wide costapalmate (bends in the middle) leaves adorn the 8' tall x 12' wide clumps. Our parent plant is from a 1988 Yucca Do seed expedition into Tamaulipas, Mexico,
