Ponytail Palm

A Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) is a unique yet versatile landscaping option excellent for adding a tropical feel to your yard This palm is native to southern Mexico, and can handle bright light but is also more forgiving of partial shade than other tropical palms These trees can grow to incredible heights, but they can also stay relatively small if grown in a container They’re quite drought-tolerant and don’t need a lot of water, but will experience strong growth if given enough hydration The unique feature of the Ponytail Palm is its bulbous base and downward-arching fronds, giving it an unmistakable profile If growing outdoors, take caution during colder months to protect the tree from severe temperatures
