| Jubaea chilensis
Chilean Wine Palm packet of 2 seeds with germination instructions
Probably the most massive and undoubtedly the most cold tolerant of all pinnate palms, this species, although unfortunately not common in cultivation, hardly needs any introduction. Native to central Chile, it is well suited to the UK climate. It is highly drought tolerant but will also do well in cold and humid conditions. It does not need hot summers to grow well, and in winter it can take severe frost down to -15°C (3°F) unharmed. |
