Sabal minor, commonly known as the dwarf palmetto,[4] is a small species of palm. It is native to the deep southeastern and south-central United States and northeastern Mexico. It is naturally found in a diversity of habitats, including maritime forests, swamps, floodplains, and occasionally on drier sites.[5] It is often found growing in calcareous marl soil.[6] Sabal minor is one of the most frost and cold tolerant among North American palms.
