Fox Tail Palms
Our beautiful tropical accent palm from North Qld. This palm with its bushy branches is my favourite for a stand alone highlight in the garden or an avenue of palms up the driveway or along a footpath.

Type of Palm / Leaf Type: Pinnate
Solitary/Suckering: Solitary
Plant Height Mature: 20-25'
Comments on Trunk: This palm produces a gray, vascular trunk which tends to
swell toward to middle. The crown shaft is often a whitish green color with
fine brown or black tomentum (plant hair) toward the top of each leaf sheath.
Sun Requirements: Full sun

Speed of Growth: This species is a moderate grower. In hotter climates, they
tend to grow more quickly than they do in temperate climates.
Particular Characteristics: This leaves on the species are plumose and fluffy.
This is why their common name (foxtail palm) comes from, as it is reminiscent
of a fox's tail. They are a nice palm for any garden, and are often used as
the focal species in landscape projects. They like a sandy, well drained soil
and can run into problems if they are excessively wet or shaded.
Rarity: Slightly rare
General Description/Comments: This species is popular for many reasons. It
is fairly quick growing, it is a self-cleaning species, it has a colorful
crown and full beautiful leaves. Close to the ocean and salt air they may
browntip. In tropical areas, this species thrives. In our area, if you get
a lot of heat, it'll probably do great. Highly recommended
