Trees of Zihuatanejo
Mexican Palmetto
Sabal mexicana
This palm tree, commonly seen near the coast, has large, blue-green costaplamate leaves with a distinctive, large notch in the middle. The trunk is large (can be a foot and a half across) and wild palmettos retain old frond bases on their trunks in a crisscross pattern, typically called "boots".
