The Palmetto Tree (aka, Cabbage Palm) is the State Tree of South Carolina. In the Revolutionary War, Palmetto Tree logs were used to build a fort on Sullivan's Island in South Carolina to defend the state against British attackers. The Palmetto Tree was named the official State Tree in 1939. This is why the Palmetto Tree is on the flag, to show respect and rememberance to the tree that help defend our State.
