The official state tree of Florida is the Sabal Palm, also known as the Cabbage Palm. This tree is native to the southeastern United States and is recognized for its fan-shaped leaves and tall, slender trunk. The Sabal Palm can grow up to 50 feet tall and is often found in coastal areas, swamps, and upland forests. The Sabal Palm is not only significant for its ecological role but also for its cultural importance. It has been used by Native Americans for food and materials, and its fronds are often used in traditional crafts. The tree symbolizes the resilience and beauty of Florida's natural landscape.
