About This Plant
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Beaucarnea recurvata (Ponytail Palm / Elephant Foot Palm) is one of the world’s most distinctive and architectural plants, immediately recognisable by its swollen, bottle-shaped trunk base (which stores water like a camel’s hump) and its fountain of long, curly, ribbon-like leaves. Despite looking like a palm, it is actually a succulent tree from Mexico — related to agaves and yuccas. Extremely long-lived (100+ years), drought-tolerant and virtually care-free, it is one of the most rewarding indoor trees you can own. The trunk gradually enlarges over decades, making older specimens increasingly impressive and valuable.
