Re: Native or Naturalized Sabal Minor in Tennessee ?

I personally believe these are a native stand of Sabal Minors. I think this because there have been several sightings of these same palms across the state in completely random locations in the woods. And it wouldn’t make any sense for people to just decide to scatter seeds in random places 30 years back.
Although, I suppose it is probable these seeds could have been naturally transported by birds or other wildlife seeing how the counties these palms have been primarily found in are on the Tennessee border of the states where these plants are registered as native. Anyway, an example I take as further evidence of these plants being naturally occurring is the widespread discoveries of Sabal Minor particularly in Hardin County. This population really makes no sense outside of the assumption these plants are native. Not to mention they been found deep in the woods often in mature stands.
