Cabbage Palm: Wildlife Use

Producing massive quantities of fruit every year, the drupes of the cabbage palm are a large component of the diet of many animals such as deer, bear, raccoon, squirrel, bobwhite, and wild turkey. Various birds and squirrels nest in the crown and the trunks sometimes bear holes excavated by woodpeckers.
