Parajubaea cocoides
Parajubaea cocoides
Family: Arecaceae
Cultivation
A plant of high elevations in the tropics, usually above 2,000 metres. Plants experience sub-zero temperatures in their native range and it should therefore be possible to grow them in warm temperate zones that only experience occasional light frosts. They probably require a cool summer and quickly lose vigour in areas where night temperatures do not fall below 13°c.

Parajubaea torallyi
Family: Arecaceae
Cultivation
A plant of high elevations in the tropics, growing in sheltered ravines above 2,000 metres.
