Foxtail Palm – Wodyetia Bifurcata Plant
The Foxtail Palm (Wodyetia bifurcata) is a tropical ornamental palm admired for its full, bushy fronds and elegant upright growth. Native to Queensland, Australia, it gets its common name from the dense arrangement of leaflets along its arching fronds, which creates an appearance similar to a fox’s tail.
Its smooth, upright trunk supports a rounded crown of lush green foliage, giving the tree a balanced appearance in outdoor landscapes. Unlike palms with widely spaced leaflets, the Foxtail Palm has densely packed leaflets that extend around the frond, creating a fuller and more textured canopy.
