Swamp Cabbage
It's Swamp Cabbage.
The legality of harvesting swamp cabbage, or cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto), varies by location. In some states, such as Florida, it is protected by law, and harvesting it without permission can result in fines. Always check local regulations and guidelines before harvesting any native plants to ensure compliance with conservation laws.
Cabbages don't grow into trees. True, real "cabbages" don't grow on trees; but I am from south Florida, and you may just be referring to what we call "swamp cabbage," found at the "heart" of our sabal palm trees (some call it cabbage palm). It is quite edible, boiled like cabbage; and in fact there is an annual "Swamp Cabbage Festival" out in the Everglades; I'm sure you can find it online.
Swamp cabbage, also known as the heart of palm or palmetto, typically exhibits a fan-like leaf arrangement. The leaves are large, deeply lobed, and grow in a rosette pattern from a central stem. This arrangement helps the plant efficiently capture sunlight while also shedding excess water, which is beneficial in its wetland habitat. The overall structure is both distinctive and functional for its environment.
No, chard leaves are not called pechay in Tagalog. In the Philippines, chard leaves are usually referred to as "swiss chard" or "silverbeet." Pechay, on the other hand, is a leafy vegetable more similar in appearance to bok choy or Chinese cabbage.
