Zone 10

The Foxtail Palm's name derives from the unusual and attractive bushy fronds which look somewhat like the tail of a real fox.

Native to the tropics of northern Australia, the Foxtail Palm has become extremely popular in South Florida over the past five years. Used as a specimen tree alone or in groups or mixed with other palms, Foxtail is a winner.

Said to be fast growing, we believe it's a medium in speed. Rated at up to 30 feet, none are that size yet in our area. Foxtail has moderate salt tolerance, is not fussy about its soil, and wants reasonable irrigation from rain or sprinklers.

Fertilize as you would any palm.
