Coyol palm

Acrocomia aculeata, commonly known as the Macaw Palm, is a striking, single-stemmed evergreen palm native to the Neotropics. It is easily recognized by its tall, slender trunk densely covered in long, sharp black spines. The palm features a crown of feathery, pinnate leaves that can reach up to four meters in length. Highly valued for its oil-rich fruits and adaptability, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, showing remarkable drought tolerance and moderate cold hardiness.
