Pindo Palm is an small evergreen palm tree with a singular stout trunk patterned with stubs of its old leaves. Its huge arching palmate-compound foliage are usually grey-green but can be dark green or silvery blue. In warmer climates clusters of tiny bright yellow summer give way to edible fleshy fruits. Grows best with full sun in rich and moist well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established.
