On ima tropsku klimu sa vlažnim zrakom gdje palme rastu svaki dan u godini.
Ono što je meni čudno je da na fotografijama s neta blackburniane imaju malo ili ništa plavog pigmenta dok su ove iz botaničkog
u Zagrebu plave da nemogu biti plavije.
Tu opet dolazi do pitanja što je Sabal blackburniana u rimskom bot. vrtu ili odakle mu je već M@x sjeme dobavio. Prema Scottu u dosta vrtova u Europi Sabal blackburniana je u stvari Sabal bermudana.
Prema Scottu: "In 1830, the name S. blackburniana was validated with a brief description and reference to Glazebrook (1829) when it was included in Schuttes and Schlütes' Systema Vegetabilium. Although the provenance of the species was still unknown, the name was used by subsequent authors (e.g., Hemsley 1885) to refer to the Sabal of Bermuda. The protologue, however, includes a number of characteristics inconsistent with the Bermuda species: trunk with leaf scars, inflorescence shorter than the leaves, and fruit globose and 22.2 mm in diameter. The first two characteristics suggest S. bermudana, but the last two clearly do not. The fruits of S. bermudana are 12.9-17.9 mm in diameter and are strongly pyriform. Given the importance of fruit size and shape in recognizing species of Sabal we cannot easily overlook this part of the description of S. blackburniana. Many specimens labeled S. blackburniana from European gardens represent S. bermudana. Never-theless, in the absence of type specimens, the name S. blackburniana remains a nomen ambiguum and must be rejected."

No, ostaje i mogućnost da je njegova takva zbog uvjeta uzgoja?
