Pindo Palm Care
View Full Planting & Care Instructions
Sunlight
Plant your Pindo Palm in an area that receives full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day).
Watering
Water your Palm 2-3 times per week for the first month, then once a week for the remainder of the first year after planting. Keep the soil moist but well-drained, watering more in times of drought and less when there is rainfall.
Fertilizing
If necessary, use a palm-specific fertilizer for your Palm. Slow-release fertilizer is best to allow the smaller root system to uptake what it needs. Apply close to the base and start in spring/follow specific fertilizer instructions.
Southern Warmth and Charm in Cooler Climates
Yearning to plant a Southern Palm even though you're just North of the Mason Dixon line? Then warm up to the Pindo Palm. This date palm with desert appeal can withstand the chilliest Southern winters. And it's a gorgeous, low-growing palm that will produce a hefty yield of juicy, amber-colored fruit in warmer climates.
Basically, its name is well-deserved. So succulent and delicious are the Pindo dates that they are often used to create savory jams and jellies, which is why the Pindo is nicknamed the Jelly Palm. But the pale green leaves are what give the Pindo its character.
Supported by inward curving fronds, the leaves are accentuated by a blue-gray sheen that gives it a distinctive look, unlike any other Palm.
Although it won't grow beyond 20 feet in height, the leaf span can spread to an impressive 15 feet, and its trunk base can exceed 2 feet. Still, the single trunk, slow root growth and extreme drought tolerance make it an excellent candidate for container growing. Pot them up and put them on the patio, the deck, or plant them in your yard to create a relaxing Southern retreat.

Beautiful palm
Shipped upside down but plant survived the ordeal because it was packaged nicely and secured to the box. It's healthy, large size. Gave it fertilizer and a good mulching. Very happy so far.
Pindo Palm
The little Palm is doing well and seems to be happy where I planted it. Very pretty.
Excellent choice
Was skeptical purchasing such a tree without actually seeing it. Was super impressed when it arrived a week later. Palm Was in great conditions when it arrived. Planted it 2 days after it arrived and it is doing great!!
The pindos were packaged very
The pindos were packaged very well. Slightly pale leaves likely from the shipping, but watered with some Palm Nutritional spray and they greened up within 24 hours. All 4 already have the new spears pushing up after one week sitting in the sun. Thanks FGT!
Love my Pondo Palm
Excellent packaging and delivery. Easy to plant.
