Description:
The Butia capitata, commonly known as the jelly palm, is a hardy feather palm notable for its drought tolerance and disease resistance. It features curving grey-green fan-like leaves that can reach up to 10 feet in length. This palm produces sweet and tart yellow fruit in the summer, which is larger than a cherry and can be used to make jelly and wine. The tree also displays yellow-red flowers in late spring. With a lifespan of up to 80 years, it is a resilient choice for various climates, including cold regions. Its trunk grows straight with a circumference of about 1.5 feet.
