Foxtail Palm

Wodyetia bifurcata

The Foxtail Palm is what landscape clients picture when they imagine a Florida yard. Its full, arching fronds radiate symmetrically from a clean gray trunk, giving it a polished, architectural look that photographs beautifully and holds up in the South Florida sun. Unlike many palms, it's self-cleaning — old fronds shed naturally, so there's no ongoing palm trimming cost for the homeowner or HOA.

Heritage Farms stocks Foxtail Palms in both single and multi-trunk specimens. Multi-trunk groupings are popular for entranceways, pool surrounds, and anywhere you want to maximize visual impact in a smaller footprint.

Installation note: Deep, consistent watering in the first few weeks after transplant is critical. Most early Foxtail Palm failures are due to underwatering, not overwatering. Set at or slightly above grade — never bury the root ball. Apply slow-release palm fertilizer once the tree stabilizes.
