I know you are happy to have them fruiting this year. Pindo fruit is great, and since it has only one big seed in it, it is easy to eat. I have never tried making jelly, so you will have to keep us updated on that later this year. You can plant seeds from your trees this year and sell them or give them away in the future.

Thanks Scot .
I thought it would flower last year but became almost sure it would this year . It'll be interesting to see how it develops over the summer and fall .

Will:

For the 1st time ever, I have them, too.

Back to back super-mild winters & increased sun exposure (thanks to my next-door neighbor’s tree removal) have propelled this Butia into believing it is in Uruguay. Can’t wait to see and taste the fruit.
