The foxtail palm (Wodyetia bifurcata) is a tropical tree native to Australia that can grow up to 30 feet tall and 15 feet wide. It's known for its fronds, which resemble a fox's bushy tail, and are also called "plumose" because of their feathery appearance. The foxtail palm has dark green leaflets that are each 1/2 foot long, and its fronds can reach lengths of 8 to 10 feet.
