Parajubaea torallyi var. microcarpa

A native of South America, this palm is rare in cultivation but growing in demand. In it's natural environment it sees periods of little or no rain fall, making it an excellent palm for dry areas. It is also known to be somewhat cold hardy. Highly ornamental, it is often referred to as a "less tropical" coconut tree because of it's feathery leaved fronds.

Our experience with seed germination has been exactly as most state....difficult. We currently have had 4 out of 100 seeds germinate, with only 3 surviving so far. It has been said that germination can take upwards to 2 years.
