The MOST COLD HARDY pinnate (feather frond) palm in the world! Native to grasslands and savannahs of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay where they are subjected to a long dry season- much like here! Drought tolerant once established. Recommended for "sunset" zones 8,9,12-24. USDA zones 8,9,10. Easy to grow. Super underrated palm.
