Butia Capitata

 

Dreaming of planting a Southern Palm? Consider the Pindo Palm! This date palm, with its desert charm, can handle even the chilliest Southern winters. It’s a stunning, low-growing palm that produces a generous crop of juicy, amber-colored fruit in warmer climates. Known as the Jelly Palm, this hardy feather palm has a thick trunk and fronds stretching 6 to 8 feet long. While it’s quite tolerant of cold, temperatures below 5 degrees can cause damage.

 

Grows 15'-20' H; Loamy soil; Sun: Zones 8-11
