Comments: |
This is not a formal palm,
but is unsurpassed as a specimen plant in small
landscapes. Requires little maintenance on well-drained
soils. Ponytail makes an excellent accent or specimen
plant. Will tolerate partial shade. Trunk will branch
over time and plant is capable of blooming most of the
year. |
