PLANT PROFILE

Wodyetia bifurcata, known as the Foxtail Palm, looks excellent when planted as a striking specimen in tropical or subtropical gardens. Its bushy, plumose fronds form a dense, graceful crown that adds a lush, architectural presence. The palm’s vibrant orange-red fruits also provide seasonal interest and attract local wildlife.

This evergreen palm thrives in full sun to partial shade, showing strong drought tolerance once established. Low maintenance needs and pest resistance make it a reliable choice for public spaces and home landscapes alike. For enhanced visual impact, Foxtail Palms can be underplanted with low-growing tropical plants or colorful ground covers, creating a layered, vibrant garden effect.

Mature Height: 8m - 12m Approximately (trunk height)

Mature Width: 3 – 4 meters

Approx. 30 – 90 cm/year (Moderate to Fast)

  • Medium Growth Rate

Hedging & Screening: Not typically used as hedging

Feature tree: 3 – 5 meters

Avenue Planting: 4 – 6 meters

Step 1: Choose the Right Location
Select a spot that receives full sun to partial shade. Ensure the location allows enough vertical and horizontal space for the palm's mature size.

Step 2: Soil Preparation
Foxtail Palm prefers well-drained soil. If planting in clay-heavy or poorly draining soil, amend it with sand and organic matter to improve drainage. For sandy soils, incorporate organic compost to enhance nutrient retention.

Step 3: Digging the Hole
Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball. This will give the roots plenty of room to expand and facilitate better establishment.

Step 4: Planting the Tree
Remove the palm carefully from its container and loosen any tightly bound roots. Place the tree in the center of the hole, making sure the base of the trunk is level with the surrounding soil surface.

Step 5: Backfilling
Fill the hole with the original soil mixed with compost, gently tamping down as you go to eliminate air pockets. Ensure the tree is vertical and stable.

Step 6: Watering
Water the tree thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the roots and help reduce transplant shock. Maintain consistent moisture, especially during the first growing season.

Step 7: Mulching
Apply a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree, extending out to the drip line. Keep the mulch a few inches away from the trunk to prevent moisture buildup and potential rot.

Step 8: Ongoing Care
Water the tree regularly, depending on weather conditions and soil type, until it is well-established. Once established, the Foxtail Palm is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells.

These planting and care steps will help ensure your Foxtail Palm gets a strong start and thrives in its new environment, adding a spectacular tropical touch to your landscape.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
