The Foxtail Palm (Wodyetia bifurcata) has several features: it is attractive and not too tall, loves areas with plenty of sunlight, and got its name from the fluffy leaves that resemble the tail of a fox. The Foxtail Palm is native to northern Australia, especially Queensland, and favors areas with high heat, acidic sandy or gravel soil. The trunk may be thin and bulge at the base or midsection, and the pinnate holds about eight to ten green or dull green leaves. It is monoecious with olive green or green fruits that turn orange-red when ripe. The trunk is self-cleaning, showing white flower stalks.
Foxtail Palms have an overall height between 16.4’-32.8’ (5-10 m) and spread diameter of 8.2’-11.5’ (2.5-3.5 m). The trunk of the Foxtail Palm has a diameter of 6”-12” (15-30.5 cm) with leaf lengths between 8’-10’ (2.4-3 m).
