Dwarf Palmetto Palm Tree
 Several cultivars of the Dwarf Palmetto Fan Palm Trees have been cloned, however, they are too expensive for most people. Because of their slow growth, transplant shock of field dug plants, the clones of Dwarf Palmetto Palm plants are not successfully produced as a commercial product. |
 The Dwarf Palmetto Fan Palm Tree, Sabal minor, is a native plant to much of the Eastern U.S. coastline. The dwarf sabal minor palmetto palm plants can tolerate temperatures below -20 degrees F. The underground trunk spreads, and thus the Dwarf Palmetto Palm Tree is protected from deep freezes, and the slow growth of the Dwarf Palmetto Palm plant is highly cold tolerant. |

 The fan palmetto shaped leaves are small, tough and grow vigorously in full sun and rarely grow over 6 feet tall, although some specimens of Dwarf Palmetto Palm Trees from Florida produce huge 6 feet trunks with fan leaves towering above. |
 The leaf color of the Dwarf Palmetto Palm Tree can be quite variable, depending on the age of the leaf from light blue-green to dark green and the leaves are smaller on the Dwarf Palmetto Palm Tree that most other ornamental cold hardy palm trees. |
 Transplanted sabal dwarf palmetto palm trees rarely survive from the wild, because the extensive underground lateral roots are pruned so severely that the sabal minor trunk shrivels and dies. |
 The short trunk on the Dwarf Fan Palmetto Palm Tree is rough and asymmetrical in shape and form- caused by burying itself deeply underground. The dwarf sabal palmetto minor plants are difficult to grow unless they are nursery grown. |
