Butia capitata

Butia capitata: characteristics and care

The Butia capitata, popularly known as the jelly palm or pindo palm, is a South American palm tree that stands out for its bluish-green pinnate and arched leaves, and for its sweet edible fruits, which are traditionally used to make jelly.

Its bluish foliage and arched, compact habit make it a highly decorative option as a focal point in Mediterranean gardens.

It tolerates moderate drought well once established and is a relatively cold-hardy palm, adapting to various types of well-drained soil.

At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
