Foxtail Palm: A Versatile and Beautiful Tropical Plant
The Foxtail Palm, also known as Wodyetia bifurcata, is a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor landscaping. It features large, feathery arching fronds that resemble a fox's tail, giving it a unique and eye-catching appearance.
Foxtail Palms can be grown in full sun or partial shade and are moderately cold tolerant, able to withstand temperatures as low as 35 degrees Fahrenheit. When planted outdoors, they can grow up to 20 feet tall and are often used to create privacy screens, fence lines, or simply add a tropical touch to the backyard. They can be planted in rows 2-3 feet apart or staggered.
Foxtail Palms are also popular as potted plants for indoor spaces such as hotel entrances, lobbies, offices, patios, or decks. They provide a unique and stylish focal point in any setting.
Foxtail Palms produce flowers in the form of berries, which contain the seeds that can be used to reproduce the plant.
