Ponytail Palm - Beaucarnea Recurvata

Ponytail Palm is not a true palm but a succulent tree from Mexico, it stores water in that distinctive expanded trunk base - which is why it tolerates drought and neglect that would kill most plants. At this size it makes an immediate architectural statement. Very long-lived and very slow-growing - a specimen tree that will outlast most other plants in the garden. Full sun. Excellent drainage. Very minimal water. Low maintenance.
