Unknown disease killing off Florida's sabal palms
So just a few hours ago I published a post about invasive species and then I find this. Florida`s state tree is being threatened by some kind of disease that has researchers stumped. Designated by the florida legislature as the state tree in 1953 these palms go back millions of years and have provided food and shelter for animals and humans alike. There are 3 sabals in my front yard but I`m not worried, if they die then I can just watch as melalueca and brazilian pepper take over. And that will make great habitat for iguanas, spider monkeys and roof rats.
