The Foxtail Palm
Wodyetia bifurcata
Foxtail palm is one of the most prominent landscape palms in southwest Florida. Often planted as single specimens, doubles, or dramatic three-stem clusters, their distinctive bushy fronds resemble the tail of a fox, making them living, breathing conversation pieces.
Native to the Cape Melville range in Queensland, Australia, the Foxtail Palm has become world-famous for its rapid growth, tolerance of diverse soil types, and stunning symmetrical beauty. It features a smooth, closely ringed trunk with a dark green crownshaft.
