Jelly palm

Also known as Pindo Palm, South American Jelly Palm

Jelly palms feature arching, blue-green pinnate fronds that curve gracefully toward a stout trunk ringed with persistent leaf bases. Native to the Cerrado savannas of central Brazil, these slow-growing palms produce heavy clusters of bright orange drupes that attract native macaws and fruit-eating mammals. Their exceptional cold hardiness allows them to thrive in temperate urban landscapes far beyond their native South American range.
