I e got a question! I’d appreciate if anyone could help me. I recently moved to central Florida and went to a Fair, and a cowboy reenactment fella was making what he called “swamp cabbage.” It is actually “hearts of palm,” from a Sabal Palm, which is the state plant. It is delicious. Here is my question- is anyone familiar with it? How do you get your hands on it? You can grow the palms on private land but you would need an orchard. You can’t just go into the swamp because it’s considered hands-off by the state. The palm was almost wiped out by a beetle. I tried looking online but you can only buy tiny bottles of the stuff. I want entire stumps!
I have never heard of it. I hope someone else will be able to help you.
Contact a landscaper or tree trimming company where new construction is occurring and palms are located.
Juvenile palms (under six feet) don't transplant well since the cut roots die back to the main stalk (transplant shock ?), and mature palms need to be supported until new roots occur.
Since you are looking for stumps, the best place to look is on private land where the palms are being cleared due to new construction.
