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.

Wholesale Palms Florida - A Quality Plant - Pindo Palms


Cold Hardy Palms - Pindo Palms, Sabal Palms, Washingtonia Palms

The A Quality Plant Tree Farm in Ruskin, Florida was cold this morning. I measured 26 degrees in the lowest area of the field. Cold Hardy Palms should not be bothered by this temperature. The Pygmy Date Palms in the middle of the tree farm suffered frost damage. The Pygmy Date Palms in the front of the tree farm should be fine. The Sylvester Palms were covered in frost as were the Canary Island Date Palms, the Medjool Palms, the Ribbon Palms, The Chinese Fan Palms, the Washingtonia Palms, the Sabal Palms, the Windmill Palms and the Pindo Palms.


We covered the tropical plants in containers with frost cloth. They should be fine.

We grow only Cold Hardy Palms on the Ruskin Tree Farm. This saves us from a lot of heartache. We bring in palms that are not Cold Hardy Palms during the warmer months from our Palm Tree Farm in South Florida.
