A multi-stem plant is several palms grown together from the start so their trunks rise at staggered heights, producing the layered grove effect that a single trunk cannot give. The fronds are plumose, with leaflets radiating in all directions around the stalk like a fox's brush, and the crownshaft is self cleaning, so old fronds drop away without pruning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Foxtail Palm\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStaggered Trunk Heights\u003c\/strong\u003e: Three or more stems of differing height give depth and a natural grove look from a single planting position.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlumose Fronds\u003c\/strong\u003e: The bottlebrush frond shape is unmistakable and reads as tropical from a long distance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf Cleaning Crownshaft\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spent fronds abscise cleanly on their own, which removes the ladder work that many palms demand.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAustralian Native\u003c\/strong\u003e: A genuinely local species that suits native and tropical planting schemes alike.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrought Hardy Once Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Established palms tolerate long dry spells far better than most tropical looking alternatives.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEntry Statement\u003c\/strong\u003e: A multi-stem clump beside a driveway or portico delivers layered height and generous scale.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePool Surrounds\u003c\/strong\u003e: Low litter and a tidy crown make it one of the better palms near water and paving.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial Forecourts\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stands up to reflected heat, wind and low maintenance regimes in resort and civic landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLawn Grove Feature\u003c\/strong\u003e: Set in open turf the staggered trunks throw a shifting pattern of shade through the day.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 4m between clumps\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 to 6m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring to early autumn, while soil temperatures are high\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free draining sand, gravel or loam; it copes with poor fertility but not with a waterlogged root zone\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water twice weekly through the first summer, then reduce steadily as the root system extends.
