WHAT KIND OF PALM GROWS YUMMY FRUIT FIT FOR A BEAR? IS IT A PALM OR A FRUIT TREE? 714-814-8525 or 760-975-4605 GREGORY PALM. FARMS

Hi!
WHY PLANT JUST A PALM TREE WHEN YOU CAN PLANT A FRUIT PALM TREE!

Did you know that the Pindo palm has absolutely delicious seeds? IT'S A PALM TREE AND A FRUIT TREE! 
They taste like a woodsy apricot. I make palm jelly for us and is  a great gift.

But that's not all. The Pindo palm is robust and beautiful. Their blue-ish green, curly fronds make this palm tree a graceful addition to any landscape design... while bearing yummy fruit!!!




It's formal name: Butia Capitata

Just for your information, this tree is NOT a fast growing tree. It's drought resistant and hearty. 
It's my favorite! A palm tree that bears delicious fruit while providing shade, ambiance and beauty. 
This Jelly Pindo Palm is simply gorgeous!!

We have them here at Gregory Palm Farms!
We have a 20 footer and 24" boxed Pindos.

Dare to be different!

Come see us at the Gregory Palm Farms.
We are now open on the weekends. 

Cheers!

The effects of many years of drought is quite obvious. All one has to do is drive through any suburban neighborhood in Southern California and they will see dying lawn after dying lawn. Apartment complexes and businesses plazas have put up signs asking their residents and patrons to excuse the appearance of their landscape while they make an effort to adhere to the water conservation policies.

So is there a light at the end of this dry and parched tunnel?

The answer is sort of. While we may not be able to perform rain dances to summon a downpour of clear, liquid gold, we can ease the suffering on our landscapes.

Replacing grass lawns and yards with drought-tolerant plants and trees not only helps efforts with conserving water but also makes that walk to your front doorstep a lot less depressing! Instead of using grass to cover your lawn, opt for rock or wood chips with succulents and other drought-friendly plants. 


You can still have the luscious green yard without breaking the bank with water fines.


The Jelly palm (first picture above) is another great alternative for your lawn as it requires little watering. Its blue-green, recurved leaves will give any lawn a more exotic and island-like feel. It can withstand high temperatures as well as temperatures down to 10-degrees Fahrenheit.  It also produces a sweet/tart fruit that is great for making jellies and wine from.


Stay hydrated with Jelly palm wine and jelly!
