Parajubaea torallyi, commonly known as Bolivian Mountain Coconut, is an evergreen palm native to the high Andean valleys of Bolivia, where it thrives in dry, temperate climates. This palm is notable for its ability to withstand cold temperatures down to -13 degrees Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit), which is unusual for a palm species. It can reach over 13 meters in height and develops a thick, fibrous trunk. The pinnate leaves can be quite long, adding to its tropical appearance. The fruits, or cocos, are about 5–10 cm in diameter and grow in clusters that can weigh up to 15 kg. They are not true coconuts but resemble them in appearance.

The Bolivian Mountain Coconut is cultivated primarily for its ornamental properties, including its impressive stature and cold hardiness. It is suitable for planting in parks, large gardens, and as a focal point in landscapes. It requires a mild or cool climate without temperature extremes and prefers a neutral to acidic soil. While it tolerates drought, it does not do well with excess water. In cultivation, it generally does best in full sun or part shade, with low or medium amounts of water, and in soils with medium or fast drainage. This palm is relatively low-maintenance but may require protection from heavy frosts in cooler climates.CC BY-SA 4.0
