Ponytail Palm - Medium (Beaucamea Recurvata)

The most striking feature of the Ponytail Palm is the swollen base of the trunk. The texture of the trunk looks and feels scaly like the foot of an elephant and is also known as Elephants Foot. The extraordinary thickening of the trunk serves as a water reservoir against dry spells, allowing the tree to go up to four (4) weeks without water and causing no ill effects. Excellent in low or higher lighting conditions. The Ponytail is an excellent choice for home, office or anywhere. Very easy indoor maintenance. 10 years old 14" - 16" tall Suitable 8" x 10" oversized humidity tray is recommended. To purchase add $3.50. Shipped via UPS 2-3 days - $13.95.
