I want a couple Pindo palms. I guess years ago these palms were kept on many southeastern homesteads, but not so much anymore. They make yellow fruit, taking about three years to do so after transplanting. And...these fruit can be made into a jelly without the use of pectin or sugar! A man I know who has tried some says it has a 'tropical' flavor.
These palms are somewhat cold-hardy, living as far north as southern Virginia, and aren't affected by many pests.
So, seeing as how I just found out about them, its too late to ask Santa for a couple Pindo palms. But, my birthday is just around the corner!
