Southern Warmth and Charm in Cooler Climates

Yearning to plant a Southern Palm even though you're just North of the Mason Dixon line? Then warm up to the Pindo Palm. This date palm with desert appeal can withstand the chilliest Southern winters. And it's a gorgeous, low-growing palm that will produce a hefty yield of juicy, amber-colored fruit in warmer climates.

Basically, its name is well-deserved. So succulent and delicious are the Pindo dates that they are often used to create savory jams and jellies, which is why the Pindo is nicknamed the Jelly Palm. But the pale green leaves are what give the Pindo its character.

Supported by inward curving fronds, the leaves are accentuated by a blue-gray sheen that gives it a distinctive look, unlike any other Palm.

Although it won't grow beyond 20 feet in height, the leaf span can spread to an impressive 15 feet, and its trunk base can exceed 2 feet. Still, the single trunk, slow root growth and extreme drought tolerance make it an excellent candidate for container growing. Pot them up and put them on the patio, the deck, or plant them in your yard to create a relaxing Southern retreat.

I bought the palm and it was delivered a week later. Packed and received perfectly. The plant is gorgeous and never looked disturbed even after planting. I will buy more plants from this company.
