Bring a touch of the tropics to your yard with the Pindo Palm Tree (Butia capitata), a stunning, low-maintenance palm that thrives in a variety of climates (it's rated for zones 8-10). Known for its graceful, arching fronds and silvery, blueish-green foliage, this palm adds instant elegance to any landscape. 

This palm is cold-hardy — unlike many tropical palms, the Pindo can withstand temperatures as low as 15°F, making it a perfect choice for us gardeners north of the equator who want to give their gardens a lush, resort-style vibe.

Fun Fact: The Pindo Palm is also known as a Jelly Palm because its small, bright orangey-red fruits are commonly used to make homemade jellies and preserves. Often called "pindo dates" or "jelly palm dates," these fruits are sweet and tangy in flavor and are naturally high in pectin, which makes them great for jellies

Why You’ll Love It

  • Cold-Hardy: Unlike many palms, the Pindo thrives in cooler climates, tolerating temperatures as low as 15°F.
  • Compact: The Pindo Palm matures to a relatively compact 15-20 feet tall, making it an excellent choice for smaller yards (it can even thrive in large containers under the right conditions!).
  • Low Maintenance: Drought-tolerant and easy to care for, this palm is perfect for gardeners of all skill levels. It requires no special care once established.
  • Fruit with Benefits: In warmer climates, produces small, edible fruits (Pindo dates) with a tangy, sweet flavor—perfect for jams and jellies!

Where It Thrives

The Pindo Palm is versatile, thriving in both full sun and partial shade. It's rated for zones 8-10, making it a great choice for much of the southern U.S. Plant it in well-draining soil, and watch it flourish as a standalone centerpiece or in a grouping for a lush, layered look. Its compact size (about 15-20 feet tall at maturity) makes it an excellent choice for smaller yards or large containers.
