| Description |
Common name: Nolina, Pony Tail, Ponytail palm, Bottle palm, Elephant-foot tree Botanical name: Beaucarnea recurvata - [ (bow-KAR-nee-uh) named for Beaucarne; (rek-er-VAY-tuh) bent backwards ] Synonyms: Beaucarnea tuberculata, Nolina recurvata, Nolina tuberculata Family: Ruscaceae - [ Ruscaceae is a family of flowering plants in the order Asparagales that includes several genera previously included in the Liliaceae, for example in the Cronquist system. ] Origin: Mexican highlands, Florida Palm-like plant. Succulent. The greatly swollen trunk base and the recurving, narrow leaves are certain identification. With age, the trunk eventually develops a few branches. Ponytail can get up to 30' tall, and the base up to 12' across, but houseplants generally remain less than 6 or 8' tall. The plant looks a little like a palm, and a little like a big onion sitting on the ground with a single stalk growing up and sporting a parasol of drooping, strap-like leaves.Plants are dioecious, meaning only female plants will produce seed. Ponytail makes a large and handsome houseplant, doing well even in rooms with air conditioning as long as it has bright light. It's a good specimen plant for a rock garden in a dry, warm climate. Closely related species - Beaucarnea guatemalensis.
