From 3000' elevation in the valleys and foothills of the Sierra Madre Occidental in Western Mexico comes this relative of Sabal palmetto that has performed well in East Coast Zone 8 gardens. S. uresana is very slow, but eventually (in your grand kids lifetime) makes a stunning 30' tall tree with costapalmate silvery-green leaves and a contrasting dark brown trunk. If you enjoy experimenting, S. uresana is a good one to try.
