The Pindo Palms performance is best above USDA Hardiness Zone 10B, and is hardy into the Carolinas. The Pindo Palms arching, blue-green fronds "leaves" are crowded with many upward pointing leaflets that form a pronounced V-shape. The Pindo Palms are considerably variable in nature, the form differing in ultimate height, trunk thickness, leaf color and amount of arching, and fruit color and taste.
