Butia capitata – Jelly Palm / Wine Palm
Cold Tolerant • Slow Growing • Striking Foliage

Butia capitata is a dramatic, slow-growing palm with a thick trunk and a stunning blue-green canopy. Native to the Andes Mountains, South America, it's a unique choice for cooler Australian climates and stands out as a feature in both residential and commercial landscapes.

It tolerates temperatures down to -10°C, making it ideal for cold areas of Sydney, Melbourne, and inland regions. Once established, it’s drought resistant and prefers well-drained soil, especially in cooler weather.

The edible fruit is a great talking point — it has a sweet, wine-like flavour and is high in nutritional value. A rare, eye-catching palm that adds both beauty and interest to any planting scheme.
