Pindo Palms, Butia capitata, Jelly Palms


Whatever you want to call it, this cold hardy palm is a beauty. A Quality Plant specializes in Cold Hardy Palms including the Pindo Palm. We installed two of our Pindo Palms today. Both of these Pindo Palms had 2' of trunk and a nice blueish color to the fronds. Pindo Palms are cold hardy down to 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The Pindo Palm is a slow grower, the Pindo Palm is drought tolerant and the Pindo Palm is resistant to many palm diseases. The Pindo Palm does not like wet feet. Make sure that you Pindo Palm gets good drainage and the soil is able to dry out between waterings.
