Sabal minor

Most people don?t think about Oklahoma being an area where palms grow, but McCurtain County in the far southeastern corner of the state is home to Dwarf Palmettos. This population o f palms is very unique in that it represents their most inland occurrence making them the most cold hardy and sought after. A type of Fan Palm, the Dwarf Palmeto gives the garden a tropical look with its evergreen fronds arising from a central growth point. You don?t see much of the trunk with these plants because it is mostly subterranean or underground, a characteristic that facilitates its cold hardiness. Be patient, as they do take a while to become established.
