Hailing from its natural habitat of eastern Mexico, the ponytail palm tree is a hearty specimen and a beautiful addition to any house plant collection. Fun fact: Though its name suggests so, the ponytail palm tree is neither a palm nor a tree. As a member of the Agave family, it is a succulent. The plant consists of a “stump” that is large and domed, which tapers off into a thinner stem. Its green leaves are long and leathery and develop as the plant matures. The typical full-grown height for this indoor tree variety is usually less than four feet at its highest, and its leaves can reach lengths of around three feet.
