Chilean Wine Palm (Jubaea chilensis) – A Rare & Majestic Addition for True Palm Enthusiasts
At The Norfolk Olive Tree Company, we are thrilled to announce the arrival of two exceptionally rare, large specimens of the Chilean Wine Palm (Jubaea chilensis)—one of the most sought-after and hard-to-source palms in the world. This is truly an opportunity for serious palm collectors and garden designers looking to add a statement piece to their landscape.
Known for its extraordinary resilience, architectural beauty, and remarkable longevity, the Chilean Wine Palm is a tree of legend. Its slow-growing, massive, smooth grey trunk and elegant crown of arching feather-like fronds make it a true icon of exotic landscaping. Finding mature specimens is incredibly difficult, making the arrival of these two exceptional trees an event worth celebrating.
The Ultimate Statement Palm
Jubaea chilensis is unlike any other palm. It possesses a thick, columnar trunk that can eventually reach up to 1.5 metres in diameter, giving it a strikingly robust and sculptural presence. Its lush green fronds form a wide, symmetrical crown, creating a look that is both majestic and timeless.
One of the slowest-growing palms in the world, this tree is a true investment, perfect for botanical collectors and landscapes designed to last for generations. Its extraordinary hardiness and ability to withstand challenging conditions make it one of the most durable and desirable palms for temperate gardens.
Hardiness & Toughness – Built for the UK Climate
Unlike many other exotic palms, the Chilean Wine Palm is incredibly hardy. It can withstand temperatures as low as -12°C, making it one of the toughest feather palms available in the UK. Slow-growing but incredibly long-lived, mature specimens can thrive for hundreds of years, adding timeless grandeur to any landscape.
• Hardy to -12°C – one of the most cold-tolerant pinnate palms
• Drought-resistant once established
• Thrives in full sun but also tolerates partial shade
• Prefers well-drained soil but adapts to various conditions
With its ability to tolerate cold, heat, and dry conditions, this is a true survivor—a palm that will stand the test of time.
