Pushing the Palm limits in Jacksonville with my Foxtail Palm!!
Comments (34)I know that this is very old, but that's not a Foxtail palm, nor a Queen palm. That's actually a Florida Royal palm. Both are very beautiful trees, however, the Foxtail palm has fronds that resembles the tail of a fox. Just out of curiosity, did the palm survive? i live in Houston, Tx, which is zone 9a like Jacksonville, and my Foxtail died during the arctic blast back in 2014. However, my Royal is still alive and recovering. Here's a pic of my Foxtail before it froze. I replaced it with a Queen, but I miss my Foxtail very deeply. I can't bare planting another one and having it die on me in a few years, whenever an unusual arctic blast occurs....See MoreFoxtail Palm - in bloom!
Comments (4)There is a reason why foxtails are becoming so popular. They are beautiful palms. Thanks for the pictures! Is that a ficus in the 3rd pic beside the foxtail? If it is, dont they get huge?...See MoreWHAT IS THE BEST FERTILISER FOR MY FOXTAIL PALM

Comments (17)Hey Oliver, my palm was actually fine just normal growth on it. It’s been in the ground for 2 years at this point. Unfortunately this past January/February we got a pretty good cold snap and it “burned” all of the foliage. We sprayed it with copper fungicide treatments for a month and a half and now just waiting to see what happens with fertilization and proper watering. It’s a double foxtail. The bigger one has new growth already starting with the dead ones falling off. The smaller one still looks good on the actual crown shaft but no new growth yet so hoping in a few weeks it will start to pop. It’s a vacation home for us in zone 9b Florida so I’m not there all the time so just doing the best we can. I’ll attach 2 pictures to show you what it looked like before the freeze all nice and green then a month later all the foliage was burned. So sad but I’m hoping it comes back🙏🏼 time will tell...See Morebarbcoleus
