The most striking feature of the Pony Tail Palm is the swollen base of the trunk. The bark of the trunk looks and feels scaley, like the foot of an elephant and is also known as Elephant's Foot. The extraordinary thickening
of the trunk serves as a water reservoir against dry spells, allowing the tree to go up to 10-14 days without water causing no ill effects. Excellent in lower or higher lighting conditions. The Pony Tail is an excellent choice
for home, office or anywhere. Very easy indoor maintenance.
