Palmetto in the wetlands

Palmetto is an indicator plant found in wetlands areas, here at a ditch feeding into Buffalo Bayou inside George Bush Park

The Houston Arboretum and Nature Center features an educational trail dubbed Palmetto Multi-sensory Trail. It explains the significance of the palmetto plant, and many other plants and trees.
