Botanical Name: Wodyetia bifurcataNative Region/Environment: Queensland region of Australia. Sun/Light: Full sun to mostly sun Temperature: USDA Zone 10-12, possible 9b with winter protection or natural sheltering until established. Water: Somewhat drought tolerant, like most palms, so watering should be deep irrigation to reach the root systems twice a month in summer and every 6 weeks in winter. Soil: Adapts well to many soil types provided they are free draining Growth Pattern: A very attractive palm with 6'-10' long plumose leaves (fronds), hence the name 'foxtail', and up to 30' tall with a grey, smooth trunk. It produces large orange fruit in dense clusters, with each fruit about the size of a small kiwi fruit. ~an adapted description from PACSOA (Palms and Cycads Societies of Australia). 'Foxtail palm' are highly prized as a clean, full palm of good proportions. The fronds are full and round shaped, similar to a fox's tail Mature Size: They seldom reach heights over 20-25' and have a dense, dark green crown that provides nice shade. It is very common to see them planted in groupings of 3's-4's where the trunks bow out and the canopies merge seemingly into one. Attributes: Attractive feathery fronds lend an especially balanced appearance but it is a relatively moderate grower of up to 2' per year. Considering its size, the fronds are relatively massive at 12'. Grown quite frequently as container plants. Pot: Shipped partially bare root and protectively wrapped. Each palm is 3'-4' tall. |
Arguably one of the most attractive of the palms. Only identified as a separate palm species in 1978 and has taken storm since. In 1978 an Aboriginal man, named "Wodyeti", brough a specimen to a botanist so the newly discovered species was named in his honor.
Ideal in a potted plant or makes a regal outline along a driveway or entrance when planted about 10-12' apart.
Lush appearance. Self cleaning palm. Good size.
