I have one growing and I wanted another one. They are really good looking palms. It probably won't fruit where I am, but I'm growing them for their looks.

Potted it up in a 12 inch pot, won't plant out until mid/late spring. Slow growing, hence hardy, so not expecting them to end up as tall as the ones in the above stock image.

Had my jelly palm for 4 months now and is growing well in a 25 litre pot filled with coconut husks and black soil. Have added one cup of dynamic lifter, water every 3rd day in full sun and growing well. Average temp is about 22 - 32C. Will be buying more

Struggling a bit in this climate but hopefully some TLC will improve the situation until warmer weather arrives.

This advice from Daley'sFruit is wrong, because the male and female flowers are on the same palm: "Plants required to Pollinate 3 Plants (Male and Female)" See this: https://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/edible-palms.html#jelly

There is a very old butia capitata or jelly palm fruiting in the City Botanic Gardens Brisbane at present, Feb 2015 and I saw two palms at Hahndorf near Adelaide that bear heavy crops of fruit every May and I love the sweet @ sour taste of these fruit

Sweet. Organic. No fruit fly problem. No bird problem.No rat problem...until years later when they find it on the plant, and then they harvest every year. No fruit bat problem. Maybe that's because the harvest period is only two or three weeks, which m...

Slow grower, but produces delicious and prolific fruit. Worth the wait!Bag young fruit spikes with a large white feed bag to out-compete the rats, bats and birds. Easily handles light frosts

Delicious edible juice from fruits, combination of quince, passionfruit, pineapple, apricot, strawberry all in one. Strong & tart, requires sweetening to taste.

Butia Capitata globule fruits, the B. Yatay teardrop fruit. In Adelaide garden about 10 years before fruiting. Each year 3 huge bracts laden with aromatic fruits. Pick when bright orange, wash, boil 2 hours, de-stone then squeeze out juice. Cordial/jelly.

I believe the difference between a Butia capitata and Butia yatay is that the yatay drops its frons and the capitata doesn't! The frons make a beautiful 'cap' or skirt around the palm stem if left uncut.

No maintenance required. Does its own thing and fruits very well. Easy to bag the fruit to stop birds. Each spray of fruit is like a separate branch of the tree. Put a big chaff bag over it and when ripe the fruit fall off into the neck of the bag for ...

Other Jelly Palms,eg those as existing street trees and in private gardens,aren't as good tasting as Daley's Jelly Palm variety.Daley's Jelly Palm might be from a superior seed.Daley's is less stringy,less acid and better tasting.
