Jubaea chilensis
Chilean Wine Palm
Jubaea chilensis is a hardy, slow growing palm with pinnate leaves and a thick, smooth, grey trunk. This species was once the largest individual specimen of indoor plant, until the 82' tall plant outgrew its home in the glass house of London's famous Royal Botanical Kew Garden. The Chilean Wine Palm is notoriously slow growing, producing over 50 leaves for each foot of trunk growth. Mature plants produces small coconuts, called coquitos, which are commonly sold on the streets in Santiago, Chile.

What makes our plants so special? Our location on the cliffs of Santa Barbara receives over 280 days of sunshine a year and we utilize our indigenous soil, mixing it with a specialized amendment. Our plants are routinely watered, fertilized, and trimmed. We always aid our plants to proper health when needs arise, and we do so without the use of sprays.
