Horticulture is God's gift to me. It is my escape from the things that would otherwise take a toll on life. It has taught me so many lessons.

Sabal maritima, or Sabal Jamaicensis is a fan palm with a solitary, stout trunk, which grows up to 15 metres (49 ft.) tall, and 25–40 centimetres (10–16 in.) in diameter. Crown holds about 25 costapalmate leaves, with recurving leaf tips, each with 70–110 leaflets. The inflorescences, which are branched, and as long as the leaves, they bear pear-shaped to globose, black fruit. The fruit are 0.8–1.4 centimetres (0.3–0.6 in.) in diameter.
