Fishtail Palm

The fishtail palm was named for its unusual leaves - shaped like a jagged fish's tail - which form thick, swirled layers of ruffled fronds.

Fishtails are clustering palms that grow dense and full.

They can be used as privacy screens - especially while they're young - and create a draping mass of deep green leaves among large trunks as they age.

Many homeowners opt for growing a fishtail in an area where they've been considering clumping bamboo.

It won't spread as much or grow as fast as bamboo, but gives the same kind of tropical look and privacy.

Fishtails are considered deer-resistant (though we make no promises).

  • These palms are a great choice for natural privacy screening.
  • Not just another pretty face, the dramatic palm can double duty as a spectacular tropical privacy screen.
  • Fast growers for sun and shade & can reach heights of 15 to 20 feet and more. 
  • Zone 10 is best, though winter in warmers areas or Zone 9B that border 10A, you can use an Areca in a protected spot. You may see leaf tip burn after most winters, even in Zone 10. Areca are clustering palms.

WE ONLY SHIP TO LOCAL FL COUNTIES (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee and Pasco Counties ONLY)

    Caring for a Foxtail Palm tree involves several key steps to ensure its health and vitality:

    1. Sunlight: Foxtail Palms thrive in full sun to partial shade. Ensure they receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth and to maintain their vibrant green fronds.

    2. Watering: While Foxtail Palms are drought-tolerant once established, they still require regular watering, especially during the hot summer months. Water deeply and thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.

    3. Soil: Foxtail Palms prefer well-draining soil. Ensure the soil is loose and loamy, with good drainage. If the soil in your area is heavy or clay-like, consider amending it with organic matter to improve drainage.

    4. Fertilization: Apply a balanced palm fertilizer specifically formulated for palm trees. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates and timing. Fertilize in spring and summer to promote healthy growth and vibrant fronds.

    5. Pruning: Foxtail Palms generally do not require extensive pruning. Remove any dead or damaged fronds as needed. Avoid excessive pruning, as it can weaken the tree and impact its overall appearance.

    6. Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the palm, leaving a few inches of space around the trunk. Mulching helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth.

    7. Protection from Cold: Foxtail Palms are sensitive to cold temperatures and frost. If you live in a region with occasional cold snaps, consider protecting the palm with frost cloth or bringing it indoors during extreme cold spells.

    By following these care guidelines, you can ensure that your Foxtail Palm remains healthy, vibrant, and a beautiful addition to your landscape. Regular monitoring and attention to its needs will help it thrive for years to come.

    Great Toy for tiny to giant pups
    Color: Gray, Size: 8 IN
    Cute Amarillo. My teacup Yorkie uses it as a pillow or chases and attacks it. Well stretched does not easily fall apart. Good value for the money. Suitable for all sized dogs.

    Fun dog toy, but not for heavy chewers
    Color: Pink, Size: 14 IN
    The armadillo is cute. My pittie, Sasha, was very excited to see it. She just had TPLO surgery on her left knee (she tore her ACL just before the 4th of July), and I wanted to get her something she could play with while she convalesces, that isn't a ball—she really likes to run and jump and chase the ball, but with her knee out of commission, I didn't want her to get depressed being trapped in her crate while she heals—with this toy, she was able to keep playing and not over excert herself and get more hurt. It quickly became her favorite toy; she chews it relentlessly and gets made when I take it from her (see below). It makes a funky squeak that's not a high-pitched squeak, like I thought it would be; it's more a low-pitched, lowing sound like a baby calf. One thing I would like to point out to other purchasers about what the description says: "Durable and Long Lasting - Made from premium soft materials, our cute plush dog toys can withstand rough play for indoor or outdoor and last for years to come. The textured surface also helps massage and soothe your dog's gums during playtime" This is a little misleading. It's a good texture and Sasha loved to play with it, but it wasn't very durable. It might be when compared to other chew toys, but not for my baby. She tore the nose off within 20 minutes of getting it. The next morning, she ripped off an ear, and I had to pull the stuffing out of the face so she wouldn't eat it while chewing away. She doesn't seem to mind, but I sure wish it had held up a little more. All-in-all, this was a good toy for a few days.

    Cute durable dog toy that my puppy loves
    Color: Blue, Size: 8 IN
    This small light weight dog toy is very durable, super cute, and my dog loves it. My dog tears everything up but he hasn't made a dent in this; very durable and chew resistant. He seems to really like that it makes a lower squeak noise. I threw this in my cart at the last minute before checkout and I am pleasantly surprised with the quality. I would say this toy is worth the price; suitable for small to medium sized dog.

    Nice toy for a bigger dog
    Color: Gray, Size: 6 IN
    My little rescue chihuahua has exactly one toy he can make squeak. This one is cute and he did try, but no luck. I have two large baskets of toys I've bought in the 3 years I've had him. He is only able to make one squeak. He loves it to death because he loves the squeak. It's a hedgehog that I will try to find on Amazon and replace. Poor little dog just has a very small mouth.
