The large, water-storing caudex base of Ponytail Palm is what draws attention and gives it one of its common names, Elephant Foot. Not really a palm at all, the long, bright green strap-like draping leaves that form on top of the bare, smooth trunk is why most people call it Ponytail Palm. They are adaptable and drought-tolerant, but look tropical. Great for containers, they can live root-bound for many years. Apply water to the root zone, avoid water on the crown, and provide them with well-drained soil. Remove any dead or dried leaves as they occur. Easy to grow. **ships bare root**
