Common Name Wooley Palm Variety  
Regional Names Wooley Jelly Palm
Botanical Name Butia eriospatha
Description Though faster growing than the more common species Butia capitata, B.eriospahta has a smaller over all mature size. A very nice and graceful species. This Butia can be identified for sure to be a different species by noticing the wooley covering on the outside of the spath (flowering sheath) from which it gets its name. This species seems to be more cold hard than both B. capitata and B. capitata var. ordorata which both can take down to 0 degrees F. Butia eriospatha is native to the extreme southern most corners of Brazil where it can be found growing as high up as 4000'in the mountains.
Notes
 All of our 1 gallons are grown in a 4x4" square x 14" deep pots and 3 gallon are grown in 7x7" square x 18" deep pots to allow for a deeper root system which aids in our Palms winter survival. Customers are having much better success with our palms surviving the winter over growers that use traditional shallow pots.
