Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata)

Common Names: Ponytail Palm, Elephant's Foot Tree, Bottle Palm, Monja.

Best Growing Environment: Ponytail Palms are not true palms but are a type of succulent. They're native to eastern Mexico's semi-desert regions and thrive in dry, well-draining soils. Their bulbous base, often likened to an elephant's foot, stores water, enabling the plant to endure drought conditions.

Average Height: In indoor settings, Ponytail Palms typically range from 6 to 8 feet tall. However, in their natural outdoor habitat, they can reach heights of up to 20-30 feet.

Growth Rate: These plants are relatively slow-growing, especially when kept indoors or in containers.

Sun Requirements: Ponytail Palms adore sunlight. Indoors, they should be placed near a window that receives bright, indirect light. Outdoors, they can handle full sun but will also tolerate partial shade.

Cold Hardiness: While the Ponytail Palm is hardy, it doesn't fare well in freezing temperatures. It is best suited for USDA zones 9-11. In colder zones, it's preferable to grow them in containers that can be moved indoors during the winter.

Water Requirements: Due to their succulent nature, Ponytail Palms are drought-tolerant. Overwatering is a common mistake. It's best to let the soil dry out between waterings. When you do water, ensure it's a deep watering and that the pot has adequate drainage to prevent root rot.

Fertilizing Guide: While Ponytail Palms aren't particularly demanding about fertilization, a light application of a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) can support their growth. Fertilize once or twice during this period and avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter.

Planting Guide: When planting a Ponytail Palm, select a well-draining potting mix, ideally cactus or succulent soil. Ensure the pot has good drainage. Plant the palm so that the bulbous base is above the soil. When the soil is entirely dry to the touch, water thoroughly. If planting outdoors, choose a spot with well-draining soil and ensure the base remains above ground level.

USDA Zone: The Ponytail Palm thrives in USDA zones 9-11.

Distinctive with its swollen base and long, hair-like leaves that cascade downwards, the Ponytail Palm is a unique addition to any indoor or outdoor space. Contrary to its name, it's not a true palm but rather a member of the Agave family. This easy-to-care-for plant is an excellent choice for those new to gardening or those who prefer low-maintenance plants.

Great for heavy duty chewers
Flavor Name: Steak, Size: Medium
Our two dogs love these bones. They’re very durable for heavy duty chewers and it takes them a fairly good time to get through them. They must love the taste because it’s the bone they first pick up. I’ve gotten two flavors so far, beef and the peanut butter. Our dogs love them and because of that so do we.

Seems great, but not for my lab
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium, Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
I am rating this, to some degree, from a hypothetical standpoint. It SEEMS like a great bone. It SEEMS like it will last quite a while and withstand some avid chewers. However, I can't say for certain because it just wasn't well-loved by my Black Lab. She has a penchant for chewing animal bones. She loves to find wildlife bones in our yard and munch on them, so we do our best to provide healthy chewing options in the house. She will go to town on a cow's joint and even enjoys a peanut butter filled Kong from time to time, but this bone just didn't meet her expectations. It's not a bad bone. It has a very rugged feel and seems like it would be safe if bits and pieces were to begin coming off, like they're safely edible. I guess (and I can't say for sure..) it just doesn't have as much of a meaty flavor as many dog's like. If your pup is a Nylabone chewer- or likes to chow down on your loafers- this bone may be a perfect new addition to his/her toy bin.

Bone for destroyers
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Small
4 months ago I Bought this bone for my 90lb lab who destroys all his bones, but not this one! It barely has any teeth/chew marks on it and it’s one of his favorites. It was a great find and I’ll be sure to buy again. If you have a dog that destroys bones I’d give this one a try.

Immediate Doggy Happiness!
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
Great dog bones! These are a nice size for my 55-pound Aussie, as well as our 96-pound Alaskan Shepherd. They are big enough to last for a while, and big enough to see so that I don't step on them with my bare feet; part of this is that they stick up off the floor a bit, instead of being a flat bone, all in one plane.

Nice size, the quality is changing. It is softer I believe than it used to be.
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Large, Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Large
Not sure if something has changed in the way this product "Barkbone" is made. I bought this many times before and it lasted. Today, on my dogs first day of use, he had chipped through the material, and already destroying it. he has had it for less than 3 hours.
