Thank you for viewing my Jelly Palm Saplings! Grown in-house in Savannah, GA!
I have 6 that are fully-grown around my back patio and they produce an over-abundance of fruit EVERY YEAR. My family and I thoroughly enjoy making jelly out of the little fruits! Below is some brief information in regards to these awesome palms!
CAN YOU EAT THE FRUIT OF A PINDO PALM?
Yes, also known as "Pindo dates," these fruits are what gave the Pindo palm the nicknames "Jelly palm" and "Wine palm." You can also eat these fruits fresh off the palm once they are ripe.
WHAT IS THE LIFESPAN OF A PINDO PALM?
Pindo palms generally live to about 80 years old.
HOW TALL IS A PINDO PALM?
Pindo palms grow slowly to 15-20 feet tall.
Striking in its look, the Pindo's feather-leaf, silver-colored fronds (some call it more of a turquoise) produce an exceptional contrast to a typical lawn's color.
These are some of the hardiest palms, doing fine in cooler temperatures, blazing sunlight, salty air and dry conditions.
An indigenous plant in some cases called "Jelly Palm," the Pindo Palm generates edible berries that can be made into jelly with a sweet banana/pineapple flavor. The fruits are around 1 inch in size with a seed in the middle (The picture of the fruit-pod in the photos are UNRIPE fruits on my tree!). However, just one tree is self-fertile and will produce large bunches of dates every season.
The style of this palm is distinct yet functional. It is often used for smaller lawns, found in moderate coastline homes, an antique Florida bungalow, or dressing up the backyard of a ranch-style residence. Pindo Palms look great in large forest estates, horse ranches or waterside houses as an intense spot in the landscape.
