B. odorata is frequently grown in Mediterranean Europe, the southern USA, Australia and southern Brazil as an ornamental garden plant.

It is notable as one of the hardiest feather palms, sometimes tolerating brief drops in temperature down to about −10 °C at night; it is often cultivated in subtropical climates.
In Europe, this palm can be found close to the Mediterranean, though some specimens are cultivated as far north as southern U.K. In the United States, B. odorata is grown along the West Coast from San Diego to Seattle, and along the East Coast from Florida to Virginia Beach.
In climates in the far north, such as the coastal areas of the Netherlands it is advised to plant the palms in full sunlight.

Larger specimens are said to take -10 to -12 °C, but should be protected at -5 °C, for example by wrapping heating strips around the trunk.
It should be protected from excess rain during the winter, for example with a small, open tent.
The substrate should be very porous so that water drains away from the roots quickly.
In the summer this palm demands lots of water and should be watered regularly.
It is possible to harvest fruit in as far north as the Netherlands.
