Butia capitata, commonly known as the Jelly Palm or Pindo Palm, is a small to medium-sized, evergreen tree native to South America. Typically growing 3 to 6 meters tall, it features a single trunk with feathery, silvery-blue fronds that arch gracefully. The tree produces clusters of small, fragrant, yellow flowers followed by orange or red fruit, which have a sweet, tangy flavor and are often used to make jelly. Butia capitata thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it ideal for coastal or tropical climates. It is commonly used in landscaping for its attractive appearance and edible fruit.
