So is this Beaucarnea recurvata, also named Nolina recurvata, the Ponytail Palm and Elephant Foot old man’s hair… another name… and makes a nice bonsai… i have one…
Wow liked the name but why so ? leaves are green? when they are fully grown, and aging they turn brown and look kinda ugly… one of my first ones… a new gardener trimmed them to up to the green parts… when I was dismayed.. he said he was beautifying it!!!
I have a picture of an old one with an old man standing/posing next to it from a few years ago at the hort garden in calcutta… but where i filed it …??/ mystery… I’ll share it here when I find it…
Its a Yucca sp, To me this looks like a very old and slightly deformed plant of Beaucarnea recurvata. Deformed in the sense, usually it is swollen at the base in young stage and in normal condition even when it grows older, but sometimes it does look cylindrical and the base is just broad and partly underground. Thanks, … It looks like Beaucarnea recurvata. Beaucarnea recurvata, the Ponytail palm (though it is not a true palm) is a species of Beaucarnea.
The ponytail palm is native to the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, and San Luis Potosí in eastern Mexico.[1]
The plants have a very noticeable caudex, for the purpose of storing water. Beaucarnea recurvata, or Ponytail Palm, is native to Mexico.
Beacarneas are closely related to Yuccas and thrive under the same conditions.
Plants have dark green, grass-like leaves that are 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide by 6 foot (2 m) long.
They have swollen bases for water storage and can store water up to 1 year. Plants in nature will reach about 30 feet (10 m) in height with a base about 12 feet (4 m) across. In containers, they will only reach about 8 foot (2.5 m) in height.
They make an excellent houseplant if they are not over-watered.
