Jelly
Palm (also known as the Pindo Palm) is not only one of the most popular of the
feather palm varieties, but also one of the hardiest. This Species of evergreen palm with a stout
solitary trunk crowned with blue-green to gray-green leaves that
curve in towards the trunk. The pinnately compound leaves, 3-6 ft. (90-180 cm),
form a dense, full crown and arch gracefully creating a slightly weeping
effect. Use one as a specimen plant for your landscape away from
walkways (due to its summer fruit), or group with other palms. It also works
well for urban environments in poorer soils, or containers when
young. Your Jelly Palm is easily recognizable for its curving foliage. The
5 to 10-foot, fan-type leaves (so classic to palms), consist of elegant
grey/green-hued leaves that arch up, and then inward back toward the impressive
trunk. The trunk itself tends to grow straight and true with a 1.5-foot
circumference decorated with the leaf stalks of previous years. The stalks can
easily be trimmed for a more manicured look to the grey trunk if you
prefer. In late spring, small yellow/red flowers appear in clusters,
eventually transitioning to the fruit this palm is known for. A bit larger than
a cherry, the round to oval-shaped, yellow fruit is ready for harvest in mid to
late summer. Both sweet and tart, it has a somewhat fibrous flesh with a
fruity bouquet reminiscent of variations of pineapple, apple and banana,
(depending upon the soil conditions). It’s excellent for use in jelly (thus the
name). Some also ferment the fruit for use as a wine. It’s disease
resistant, drought tolerant and doesn’t mind the cold. Jelly Palm can be
expected to live up to 80 years and is obviously a great investment in a palm
that’s easy to care for and sure to provide enjoyment for years to come. And if
you want an inside potted Jelly Palm, they can get Enormous in containers that
would appear to be far too small for them.

Jelly Palm Germination:
Soak the seeds in a bowl of clean water for seven days. Change the water every morning to ensure it stays fresh before starting. Some
have found it better to crack the hard seed coat before hand to help facilitate
germination, while it has recently been found that complete removal of the hard
seed coat can also increase germination rates dramatically. Use a heated propagator under the soil. The time needed for
germination can be sped up dramatically using a heated propagator set to the
Optimal temperature of 100-104 F at all times after being placed into
soil.
1) Mix 1/2 cup of bleach with five cups of
water. Place the seeds in a strainer and pour the bleach mixture over them. The
bleach will sterilize the outside of the seeds and prevent mold growth. If
layer of skin is still present, just peel it off.
2) Place the
Seeds in a strainer and pour the bleach mixture over them.
3) Fill
a pot with high quality potting soil & plant the seeds so they are level
with the soil surface. The seeds do not have to be completely covered to
germinate.
4) Use a Heated Propagator to keep the temperature as as close
to 104 degrees F as possible. The seeds should not be in sunlight as they are
at risk for drying out. Water the soil until it is damp to the touch. The soil
must stay damp (not wet), at all times throughout the germination process.
5) Be
patient–it can take a month for some, while most will take up to 100
days or more to germinate as with any Exotic or Tropical seeds. The Jelly Palm is Most Definitely Worth the Wait!
