Beaucarnea gracilis

Slow but large-growing relative of Pony Tail Palm with thin, slightly glaucous leaves which hold themselves much more erect than recurvata & guatemalense, but not as broad nor stiff as stricta. Trunk, as for all the fore-mentioned species, becomes massive in time, and branched above - at that stage a prestigious plant of great beauty and presence.

3.Indoors OK, Outdoors OK in warm, well-drained position in mild areas.

22 year old plant, lovely shape.
