Foxtail Palm

Foxtail Palm has thick, bushy fronds that curve outward in a shape that really does look like a fox's tail, giving it a fuller, more dramatic look than many other palms. It comes in a 60cm pot and stands about 1.8 metres tall.

It handles full, direct sun extremely well, making it a strong choice for open garden areas, driveways, or as a stand out feature near a villa entrance anywhere in the UAE.

Water it 2 to 3 times a week while young, tapering off as it matures and develops a deeper root system. It grows at a moderate pace and eventually forms a smooth, attractive trunk, becoming a long term feature of the garden.
