Beaucarnea recurvata

The Beaucarnea recurvata, or Ponytail Palm, is a distinctive, slow-growing evergreen succulent plant admired for its swollen trunk base, slender, arching leaves, and low-maintenance nature. Despite its name, it is not a true palm but a member of the asparagus family. Reaching up to 6 meters in outdoor settings (though often smaller indoors), its fountain-like foliage and unique form make it a popular choice for containers, xeriscaped gardens, and indoor décor.

Native to Mexico, the Ponytail Palm is drought-tolerant and thrives in a variety of conditions, making it an excellent option for both novice and experienced gardeners.

How are ex-ground trees prepared for delivery?

All ex-ground trees are carefully dug with their rootball intact to preserve the root system and minimize transplant shock. Each tree is stabilized and treated with specialized solutions to promote health during transit. The rootball is wrapped to retain moisture and protect it from damage, and water crystals are added to provide essential nutrients and hydration for the journey. These meticulous preparations ensure your tree remains healthy and ready for planting, whether it’s traveling across the country or overseas.
