Butia eriospatha SEEDS

Butia eriospatha seeds grow into the Woolly Jelly Palm, a distinctive feather palm native to the highlands of southern Brazil. It takes its name from the dense, woolly covering on its flower spathes “eriospatha” meaning “woolly spathe.” Palm enthusiasts prize it for its elegant silhouette and notable cold hardiness.

The Butia eriospatha palm reaches a moderate height, typically up to about 6 meters, with a stout trunk and a crown of blue-green, gracefully arching pinnate leaves. In summer it produces yellow inflorescences emerging from woolly spathes, followed by edible orange fruits enjoyed by both people and wildlife. This resilient palm thrives in warm temperate to subtropical gardens and tolerates mild frost.
