Bolivian Mountain Coconut (Parajubaea torallyi var. Microcarpa)

Bolivian mountain coconut palm is the most common in the world and is growing in the Bolivian Andes to 3400 meters high. It is the only large plant on these heights, but he saves it in sheltered places in valleys quite well. However, the species is threatened in its existence by the disappearance of habitats and the harvest of edible seeds and fruits. The palm is in nature 10-20 meters tall with leaves up to 5 meters long. The large inflorescence is followed by 5 cm wide fruits in clusters of up to 15 kg. It is a fast grower that is unprotected from -8 degrees Celsius. At lower temperatures, you can pack up the stem of the plant with a cloth or foil, so that in our climate can overwinter outdoors. A fast grower for partial shade and still virtually unknown!
