Saw Palmetto Berries Are Protected | Orlando News

Saw palmetto berries might look like free snacks as summer ends, but in Florida they’re protected—no picking without a permit, even on your own property. A 55-year-old man got caught with a truck full of them on university land, facing trespassing and illegal harvesting charges. If you want to harvest for personal use from up to two plants on your property? Go ahead—but don’t sell or trade them. Get the official permit from the Florida Department of Agriculture if you’re serious about collecting responsibly.
