Butia capitata

[happypalms]

Another tough palm the capitata with a majestic look an all round easy palm to landscape with they can become a bit of a mess when the seeds start to germinate underneath and you get a grove of capitata that’s out of control but a good looking palm with a nice colour drought tolerant plant and forget then in 5 years a nice palm

There are a few of these around here. The fruit is quite nice to eat too. I planted one 7 years before I moved house but it was painfully slow growing. On the plus side, it took everything our weird climate could throw at it.

They are a nice palm like any palm they look better with care and age although young ones look a lot nicer to me than an established ones also I read you can make jam from the fruit

The fruit makes a great drop of wine too. Like any fruit tree, good nutrition and moisture makes a sweeter bigger fruit too.

Yes Tyrone I have heard that before. They actually call them wine palms around here
