Description

'Ponytail Palm' seeds

Beaucarnea recurvata

Synonyms: Nolina recurvata

  • Small palm-like tree to 2m
  • Suitable to grow indoors
  • Suited to containers

A small tropical palm-like tree to 2m with a single trunk and long, strappy green leaves with finely serrated edges. The leaves grow in a rosette from the top of the plant. The enlarged base of the trunk, called a globose cordex, stores water, making the plant drought tolerant. Mature plants produce large flower spikes covered in small green to white flowers. Grow as a feature or specimen tree in warm climates. Small plants make low-maintenance indoor plants. Suited to containers.

Native to Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. Also known as 'Bottle Palm' and 'Elephant's Foot Tree'.
