Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata)

            Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) is native to the state of Veracruz Mexico but is also a popular ornamental plant, Despite the name, it is not a palm but is in the same family as Agaves and Yuccas. I have one that I got as a seedling that is now about 10 inches tall. I'm not sure how large the one at the greenhouse is but it's well over my head - probably about 10 feet tall. This is a closeup of the expanded caudex which is a distinguishing feature of this plant.
