    Description

Beaucarnea gracilis- The Pony Tail Palm

This listing is for a pack of 25 seeds of this plant, also known as Nolina gracilis.

Originating in Mexico, this plant is now grown in many tropical areas.  Although known as the Pony Tail Palm, it is not related to the palms at all, being more closely related to such plants as the Agave.  It is an evergreen perennial plant growing up to 7 metres tall, with a thickened stem, especially at the base, which makes it look like a bottle.  From the top of each stem there is a tufted rosette of leaves.  When the plant reaches 9 or 10 years old, it will produce spikes of yellow/white flowers.  The name gracilis means slender and refers not to its trunk (which is anything but) but to its leaves, which are slender in comparison to others in the group.

It is hardy down to -5 Deg C, but is mostly grown as a houseplant.  It is quite fast growing and very tolerant of neglect, making it ideal for many locations. It is the most common of the pony tail palms used as houseplants due to the ease with which it can be cultivated.
