Beaucarnea Stricta

Beaucarnea stricta – Ponytail Palm Succulent Tree with Sculptural Charm

Add a striking, low-maintenance statement to your space with Beaucarnea stricta, commonly known as the Ponytail Palm or Elephant’s Foot. Native to Mexico’s arid, desert regions, this remarkable succulent tree is prized for its dramatic bulbous base (caudex), which stores water and nutrients, making it highly drought-tolerant and easy to care for. From its top, slender, arching leaves cascade gracefully, creating a fountain-like, sculptural appearance that brings elegance and whimsy to any indoor or outdoor setting.

Key Features:

• Bulbous Caudex: Thick, water-storing base resembles an elephant’s foot, growing larger over time and adding visual impact

• Fountain-Like Foliage: Long, thin strap-like leaves arch from the top, forming a distinctive ponytail shape

• Slow-Growing & Compact: Naturally grows 15–20 ft (4.5–6 m), but stays smaller in cultivation—ideal for containers and indoor spaces

• Drought-Tolerant & Low-Maintenance: Perfect for beginners or busy plant enthusiasts

• Unique Sculptural Beauty: Adds exotic flair and serves as a striking focal point in gardens, patios, or interiors
