Discover the beauty of Butia odorata, also known as South American Jelly Palm, Jelly Palm and Pindo Palm. Native to the grasslands, dry woodlands, and savannahs of South America, particularly Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, this palm showcases long pinnate leaves that arch and recurve towards the ground. Combined with a thick stout trunk going up to 15-20ft, it creates a striking silhouette. Leaves range from light green to bluish-grey colors and grow to 10ft, offering elegant dimension and texture with a robust trunk diameter of 1-1.5ft. The palm also produces bright orange fruits or "pindo dates," providing variation in form and beauty from one individual to the next. Its resilience in dry or infertile soils and in varying light conditions make it adaptable to different landscapes. This marvelous palm has a rich history of name changes, indicating its scientific significance. Grown in USDA Zone 8-9, it thrives in full sun to moderate shade and requires well-drained soil, adding a pronounced charm to North American gardens and even as far as British Columbia. Note: this palm is not recommended for subtropical and tropical climates.
