Pindo Palm Tree

Stunning Show-Stopper

Whereas many feathery frond palm varieties thrive only in subtropical climates, Pindo Palms are the exception as they continue to thrive when weather gets chilly, earning the recognition for being the most cold-hardy feathery frond palm tree  withstanding temperatures down to 20° F and brief periods down to 10° F. Meaning it can withstand the temperature swings in the Atlanta area. 

The Pindo Palm is a medium sized feathery frond palm that adds undeniable charm to any space. It has wide and elegantly arching fronds that are a gray-green color and a short and stocky trunk that can be styled natural or diamond cut.   

This attractive palm slowly grows to a mature height of up to 16 ft making it a suitable tree for planting under power lines, or as a standalone specimen in front of the house or by the pool. Adding to the palm’s undeniable beauty, the dense canopy fills with evergreen, bluish-green to grayish-green, feathery fronds that arch downward in an elegant curve, almost reaching the ground.

This slow growing tropical palm offers year-round tropical greenery and produces edible fruits good for making jellies or wines, which is where they earn their common name- Jelly Palm. The fruits taste like a cross between a pineapple, banana and apricot.

Slow growing, drought tolerant and pest and disease resistant, the Pindo Palm is a fantastic option for most locations, given there is enough space for its fronds to extend to almost 14 feet wide. It is also a great candidate for containers, because of its slow growth, ease of care and superficial roots.

The thick trunk and cascading fronds on the Pindo Palm are sure to make for a stunning statement palm.
