The Foxtail Palm (Godetia bifurcate) is a striking, ornamental palm known for its unique, bushy fronds that resemble a fox's tail. Native to Australia, it features a smooth, slender, gray trunk topped with a bright green crown shaft and the distinctive, plume-like leaves. It's a popular choice for landscaping due to its attractive appearance and relatively low maintenance requirements. 

Key characteristics:

• Leaves: The most defining feature is its fronds, which are plumose (feathery) and arranged in a way that resembles a fox's tail. 
• Trunk: It has a smooth, slender, and self-cleaning trunk that is typically light gray to white in color. 
• Crown shaft: The area at the top of the trunk where the leaves emerge is a smooth, light to vivid green crown shaft. 
• Flowers: Creamy-white to pale yellow flowers appear in clusters at the base of the crown shaft. 
• Fruit: The fruits are about 2 inches long, turning from olive green to orange-red when ripe, with seeds containing forked fibers, according to the National Parks Board (NParks). 
• Size: Foxtail palms can grow up to 30 feet tall, with a canopy spread of 10-15 feet. 
• Growth Rate: They are known for their relatively fast growth rate. 
• Climate: They thrive in warm, tropical and subtropical climates, preferring temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). 
• Light: They prefer full sun to partial shade. 
• Soil: They do best in well-draining soil. 
• Watering: Regular watering is needed to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
