Native to the coastal plains, woodlands, and Cerrado savannas of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina
A pindo palm bears separate male and female flowers on the same tree, on a long spike. In summer, flowers give way to clusters of cherry-sized yellow edible fruits.
If youre looking for a low maintenance palm, this could be it.  Pindo palms are hardy to about -11 degrees Celsius. They are disease-resistant and require only moderate wateringin fact, they are drought tolerant. 
Fruits are described as sweet, tart, and juicy; some people describe the flavor as somewhat reminiscent of pineapple. You can eat pindo fruit fresh off the tree (most people chew it and spit out the fiber with the seed), use it to make jellies and jams, or ferment it into wine.
The palms make striking specimen plants. They will also grow in a container.
