A small palm with a short, stout trunk and bluish grey leaves. The orange fruits are edible and widely used to make a delicious jelly, thus the name. It is one of the few feather palms which is hardy, withstanding temperatures down to 10 degrees when established. Seeds are difficult to germinate, but to help them along you can file a small groove into the side of each seed to increase water absorption and germination of the seeds. This is a palm that truly everyone should have.
