i know the palm i was in was a Sable palm....there was no fruit on it, but it did have ants all over the backside of it....didn't know this until the bear had left.....i had been getting any bitten all darn day, just thought it was from walking through the marsh....LOL.....but i'm thinking he was trying to get them...
I haven't had swamp cabbage in years...every once in awhile i'll be opening up areas and i'll hit a cabbage palm, just the right way with the tree cutter and the heart will be laying there screaming my name..lol....love it cooked or raw...
