The fastest growing and hardiest Butia, this palm is native to areas of Southern Brazil at elevations of 1000m above sea level where it is much colder and wetter in winter. In summer temperatures can often be similar to those seen in Northern Europe. It is a mystery why this palm is not one of the most popular choices for Northern European gardens, as it is undoubtedly very well suited to our cool and wet climate. It is very frost resistant, and established good sized plants have been known to survive -12°C, or even to recover from lower temperatures when damaged, although protection during such spells of cold is highly recommended.
Trees can reach 6m high in the wild, and almost certainly more in cultivation. The tree can be found growing both in the wild and in cultivation throughout all of the mountainous area of South Brazil where it is cultivated for its sweet and delicious fruits.
