The palmetto tree is the most recognizable symbol of The Palmetto State. Together with a crescent moon (which is really a gorget from a state militia uniform<\/a>), our beloved palmetto tree is every<\/em>where — most notably on the South Carolina state flag.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve written at length (some might even say ad nauseum) about our palmetto tree mailboxes<\/a>. But I\u2019ve never actually written about the palmetto flags that inspired them. So let me do that now, before I write another post about the many ways we are obsessed with these trees.<\/p>\n

We have plenty of palmetto flags here in the neighborhood for you to enjoy — both the official ones and the purely decorative. We\u2019re proud of them all.
