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.

    Love love love!
    Size: 1.7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 1.7 Ounce (Pack of 1)
    I’m a big hyram fan and after I found out dear clairs and other Korean chemical sunscreen might not be as effective as claimed, I bought this product off of his recommendation. I was a little nervous about a few things. For one I have the worlds Oiliest skin. I felt like dear klairs (my old sunscreen) did leave a bit of shine but it had controlled my oil better than any other sunscreen I tried... until now. This is the closest my skin has ever looked to “normal” as far as oiliness goes so props to that! I also was hesitant on this product because of the tint but also didn’t want a white cast. I would say I’m light to medium with an olive undertone and I think it matches my skin really well! It almost looks like I have makeup on bc my skin tone much more even , but it doesn’t cover breakouts. I happened to have a few pimples (already had them ,not caused by the sunscreen) so you can see that the sunscreen doesn’t cover them completely but blurs/evens out the clear part of my skin. There is a slight white cast but I think the tint offsets it. . I couldn’t speak for other skin tones but I think if you’re light to medium/olive it matches really really well. Finally I love the texture, it’s almost velvety and doesn’t pull on the skin which I hate in a face sunscreen. Not too thick not too watery, and just feels nice to apply. So I don’t really have anything bad to say about this product, but I’ve only had it two days so I’ll have to see if it causes any breakouts ect. But so far I would highly recommend! Update: I have been using this for well over a year now, and I can never go back to anything else! It doesn't cause breakouts even when I've slept with it on by accident. I use it instead of a primer under my foundation, and it works amazing. I literally have no complaints; I have not gotten a sunburn since I started using this. I just reapply every few hours when I'm at the beach/pool. I love reapplying because it controls my oil and gives that blurred bb cream effect, I'm also able to put it under my eyes/on my eyelids without burning my eyes. I was never someone who got compliments on my skin, but that changed when I started using this along with the rest of my skincare routine (Shoutout Hyram!) I'm so glad I found this product! 2024 Update! Still loving and using this sunscreen! I decided to try a couple of different brands earlier this year just because I hadn't ever branched out after finding this product, but this remains the best-tinted sunscreen for oil control and pore blurring I've ever tried!

    Great tinted physical sunscreen
    Size: 1.7 Ounce (Pack of 1)
    This is my new favorite sunscreen. It goes on matte, but is still easy to put on/not pasty. The tint is enough to get rid of the ghost look but not so much that it looks like fake tanner. It's a bit greasier feeling than I'd like but it doesn't look greasy at all so I'll take it.

    Stunning
    Size: 1.7 Ounce (Pack of 1)
    Good lord this is a beautiful mineral sunscreen. And at a reasonable price. It has a mouse-like consistency, is light and airy dries down to a satin-like finish after 15 or so minutes. It has a primer like feel to it which some might not like but this is perfect for those of us with combo/oily skin. I’m fair/light skinned and the color is a perfect match. Gives me a light no-makeup makeup look. Works well under make-up as long as you let it set first. One thing that's a con and has me on the fence about daily use is that because it's so thick and silicone like, you can't put the full 1/4 tsp on your face right away as it's just too much. For the 2 finger application I have to put it on in stages, and let each finger length dry down before adding the next, otherwise it's too much product to do all at once. Takes longer in the morning which isn't ideal but given everything else it has going for it it's still workable for me. I'll see over time if I want to repurchase.

    Excellent sunscreen, my favorite
    Size: 1.7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 1.7 Ounce (Pack of 1)
    In search for a perfect tinted sunscreen I have tried just about every brand of tinted mineral sunscreen that’s available here on Amazon, so you might recognize me from other reviews. I have a sensitive skin and can’t tolerate chemical sunscreen. I also have red and bumpy skin on my cheeks due to rosacea, so I need a tint to cover redness. I’m really glad I finally decided to give Sunbum tinted sunscreen a try because it quickly became one of my favorites. My other favorite is MD Solar Science BB cream in shade Light. These two are quite similar, both are very silicone like, due to a great amount of dimethicone. They feel like primers and because of that are very sticky and hard to wash off your fingers. But both look very natural and skin like. MD Solar Science (light shade) is slightly darker while Sunbum is pretty pale but not in an unhealthy way. My skin is a bit darker than Sunbum shade right now. Yet it covers my rosacea and evens out my skin tone just enough. It’s not drying but also not shiny, and because of that it doesn’t magnify wrinkles, which is a big plus: I’m tired of tinted sunscreens highlighting the wrinkles I have that are not even noticeable without them. Sunbum is slightly lighter and provides a bit less coverage than MD Solar. It also doesn’t have much zinc, which was a point of criticism from popular bloggers. Because of that it might not be perfect for everyday wear. But if you want to have the most natural “no make up” look and you’re light skinned, this is a great choice on the days when you’re not expecting to be under too much sun. I use retinol on my forehead at night and I didn’t get sunburnt when using this sunscreen. So the only concern here would be the gradually accumulated damage from the long UV-A rays. Another thing I like is that unlike MD Solar, Sunbum doesn’t contain vitamin C and therefore doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. It’s also less expensive. I will keep repurchasing. Note: in the unfiltered photo attached here, you can see the sunscreen after a 5 hour wear, that included eating, touching my face etc, so it’s a bit worn off and the redness on my cheeks is more visible. Even when freshly applied it didn’t cover redness completely because of being light coverage sunscreen.
