Butia capitata– Jelly Palm
- Type: Hardy Palms
A beautiful South American palm with long recurving, pinnate leaves that arch groundwards from the top of a thick, stout trunk, which can grow to 12-15 ft (3.7-4.6 m) in the wild with a diameter of 1-1.5 ft (0.5-0.9 m). The leaf bases naturally stay on the trunk for some time, but look better when removed. The leaves range from light green to blue grey and grow up to 10 ft (3m) long. The leaf stems are from about 2-4 ft (0.6-1.2 m) in length and have hooked thorns along both edges.
Specimens raised in dry poor soils tend to be generally smaller, with smaller leaves. While those grown in shade are more lax and graceful looking. The leaves can be brittle and both leaflets and whole leaves can be damaged by strong winds.
There are a few other palms in the Butia family with yatay and odorata perhaps being less hardy than capitata (at around -12°C), and the recently introduced eriospatha (Mountain Butia) which thrives in cool conditions.
