Foxtail Palm, The Perfect Palm For Any Tropical Landscape
Below I'll show you my palm tree pictures and you’ll see the difference on how they grew with one being in the sun 100% of the time and the other only gets full sun for about a month or so in the summer. The Foxtail Palm comes from Australia and grows naturally amongst rocks and boulders in Australia, to be more specific in northeastern Queensland in the Melville Range. The botanical name for this palm tree is Wodyetia Bifurcata which the name is a tribute to an Aboriginal bushman named Wodyeti who first discovered this tree and knew that it was unique. How cool would it be to have found a new species and have it named after you? The Foxtail Palms are a species of flowering tree in the Arecaceae family and it can take many years before they flower, These types of evergreen trees become even showier when its brilliant red fruit is on display. Mine after 6 years still hasn’t grown any fruit, but they are only between 6 and 7 feet which I'm thinking, they’re still not mature enough. This palm is considered by palm enthusiasts and landscapers to be a useful accent in a wide spectrum of landscape settings. It is prized for its robust trunk and its unique beautiful fluffy bushy leaves. Foxtail palm may be used alone as an accent specimen and may also be planted in groups of three or more for a stunning tropical jungle effect. They also are grown as indoor houseplants or as a conservatory plant in well lit areas around the world. A foxtail palm tree can also be used grown as a patio or deck plant as well. Plant your palm outdoors in a spot that will allow the large spread of leaves that can grow up to 15-20 feet tall to have their space. These tropical palm trees may be planted in areas having strong winds and moderate amounts of salt spray, great for beach areas they tolerate so much, I have a lot of sand in my soil and they’re doing just fine. They are also a perfect palm for sunrooms and patio containers. The self-cleaning fronds make maintenance easy, but once in a while I see one hanging getting ready to fall off so I will help it along.
