Tropical Flair for Warm Climate Gardens
Transform your landscape with the striking Foxtail Palm Tree, a premium tropical specimen prized for its distinctive feathery fronds that resemble a fox's tail. This Australian native delivers year-round visual interest with its full, dense canopy and graceful growth habit. The Foxtail Palm thrives in warm climates and adapts remarkably well to different soil types, making it an ideal choice for homeowners who want dramatic tropical appeal without demanding maintenance requirements. As a fast-growing variety, this palm quickly establishes itself and reaches an impressive mature height, creating natural privacy screens and providing dappled shade for your outdoor living areas. Its columnar form and lush foliage make it perfect for framing architectural features, defining garden spaces, or serving as a stunning specimen plant. The Foxtail Palm's pest-resistant nature and minimal pruning needs mean you can spend less time maintaining and more time enjoying your tropical paradise. Whether you're designing a resort-style retreat, Mediterranean garden, or contemporary landscape, the Foxtail Palm Tree adds sophisticated greenery and architectural structure that elevates your entire outdoor environment.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Make sure you give the palm well-draining soil and adequate space above to grow.
This palm is very adaptable and will fill the space you allow it to grow in. For in-ground planting you can expect your palm to get taller at around 30 ft compared to container-planted palms.
2. Watering: Mist your Foxtail Palm daily in addition to regular watering – this ensures that its native humid climate is simulated in your home. If you're not sure when to water, simply check the soil about 2 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it's time to water your Foxtail Palm.
FGT Tip: If fronds begin to yellow, it could be a sign of overwatering. If you see yellowed fronds, allow time for the soil to dry before watering your plant again. Browning fronds, however, mean that your Foxtail Palm is not getting enough water and needs more.
3. Pruning: Simply any fronds as they turn yellow or brown. This improves the look of your plant and creates clean space for healthier green fronds to grow.
4. Fertilizing: You can apply palm fertilizers that contain specific nutrients best suited for palms. If you prefer, you can also use a balanced fertilizer, such as an 8-8-8 formula, for quicker growth in spring and summer.
