Two of the finest Pony Tail Palm tree specimens

The ponytail palm is a very beautiful, striking plant that is sure to catch the eye of everyone that walks into the room.

The ponytail palm, otherwise known as the beaucamea recurvata has a swollen effect at the base of the trunk. You will see that the trunk somewhat resembles a ponytail. The trunk’s texture also looks and feels scaly like the foot of an elephant (which is why it is also know as elephants foot). The thicker area of the trunk serves as a reservoir for water, which preserves against dry spells. This allows the tree to last up to four weeks without water causing no damage. It is a really great indoor, easy to maintain type of plant and it looks great.

The bark of the trunk looks and feels scaly, like the foot of an elephant and is also known as Elephant's Foot. The extraordinary thickening of the trunk serves as a water reservoir against dry spells, allowing the tree to go up to 10-14 days without water causing no ill effects. Excellent in lower or higher lighting conditions.
