Description

The Pindo Palm, or Jelly Palm, is a handsome, cold-hardy, and adaptable palm known for its gracefully arching, blue-green to silver-green feathery fronds and its edible fruit. The fronds curve downward toward the tips, giving the canopy a soft, weeping appearance. It develops a thick, stout trunk covered with the stubs of old leaves. Its tolerance for cold, drought, and a variety of soils makes it an excellent and versatile choice for many temperate and subtropical landscapes.

• Cold Hardy with Arching Blue-Green Fronds: Tolerates temperatures down to 10-15°F and has attractive, recurving pinnate leaves.

• Produces Edible Yellow-Orange Fruit: The fibrous, date-like fruit is tangy and sweet, often used to make jelly.

• Drought & Adaptable: Once established, it is very drought-tolerant and grows in various soil types.

• Slow-Growing to a Manageable Size: Typically reaches 15-20 feet tall, making it suitable for residential landscapes.

• Attractive Textured Trunk: The old leaf bases create a unique, bumpy texture on the trunk.
