Beaucarnea recurvata [Ponytail Palm]
|
Beaucarnea recurvata
Plant Features:
The Ponytail Palm is a slow growing palm that can get up to 20 feet tall but rarely exceeds 10 feet. Young Ponytail Palms have no trunk, but as the palm matures, it develops a brownish-gray bark that is greatly swollen at the base, reaching up to 12 feet in diameter. When the palm is only few years old it has a single smooth trunk topped with crown of dark green fronds, but eventually develops a few branches. Ribbon-like leaves grow in clustered at the tips of branches. The cascading nature of the leaves gives much the appearance of a pony’s tail, hence the name Ponytail Palm. Mature Ponytail Palm produces creamy-white flowers in spring or summer. They bloom for several weeks two or three times a year. Flowers grow in clusters on long inflorescence that extend longer than the leaves. Male and female flowers are born on separate plants.
