Description:
Butia odorata, a slow-growing palm native to southern Brazil and Uruguay, is known for its thick trunk and arching feather-like leaves. It can reach up to 10 feet in height and produces highly aromatic fruit. This palm is one of the hardiest of its kind, tolerating temperatures as low as 15 degrees Fahrenheit. It thrives in sandy and rocky soils and is often found in small clusters in its native habitat. The fruit is sweet and sour, with a taste reminiscent of pineapple and apricot. It is a popular ornamental plant in Mediterranean Europe and the southern USA.
