The Pindo Palm Tree makes a fantastic addition to any landscape.
|
The Pindo Palm Tree produces huge trees with gigantic leaves and are planted all over the South.
|
The Pindo Palm Tree in some cases has survived winter temperatures of zero degrees F but smaller specimens of Pindo Palm Trees were killed in the zero degree F freezes of 1983. Many wildlife animals such as squirrels, birds, opossum and raccoon feast on the jelly dates of the Pindo Palm Trees that are produced in huge numbers.
|
The Pindo Palm Tree may only grow 6 feet tall in 20-25 years with a trunk 1 feet in diameter, but the leaves are massive and may reach 15 feet wide to both sides of the tree. The roots of the Pindo Palm Tree seedling are also extensive, growing radically from the center, and once a Pindo Palm Tree grows to this size, it begins to grow in height of about one foot each year.
|
A Pindo Palm Tree may be transplanted from a yard origin successfully, but the severing of the roots will delay growth for several years. Nursery grown Pindo Palm Trees have complete root systems and are easily transplanted with minimum shock. Very few trees will grow successfully under pine trees, however, Pindo Palm Trees grow undaunted underneath the shade and aggressive nature of the pine tree root system and are common companions in Southern gardens.
|
The Pindo Palm Tree grows 25-30 feet tall in the United States and grows in acid or alkaline soils, sandy or clay and is tolerant of salt water droughts and weather stresses. The Pindo Palm Tree flowers in the Spring and the flowers mature into a date-size orange fruit that is edible in the raw stage, or the dates are often made into a delicious jelly, thus the common name of the Pindo Palm Tree is the "Jelly Palm Tree". The dates are centered by a large seed, that if scattered in a landscape will germinate and grow into juvenile Pindo Palm Trees over 20-25 years and may grow only 6 feet tall when growing in a yard situation from the seed.
|
Because of its exotic tropical look the Pindo Palm Tree is often planted near motels in the South to attract the attention of passing tourists.
|
The Pindo Palm Tree is a tall beautiful tree with gracefully arched leaves that recurve and bend outward and point back toward the base of the trunk. The leaves of the Pindo Palm Tree have no thorns, unlike most other ornamental palm trees, and the color of the leaves on the Pindo Palm Trees is variable- from green to blue-green to silver, making this palm tree different in form as a specimen from other landscape palm trees. Once the lower leaves of the Pindo Palm Tree die, the leaf attachment to the trunk persists prominently to the trunk and gives a rugged texture appearance, however, in some cases the Pindo Palm Tree can shed these attachments after many years giving a smooth trunk.
|
The Pindo Palm dates ripen in the Summer and are relished by wildlife birds and many wildlife animals. Birds often nest in the canopy of the Pindo Date Palm Tree.
