6 foot ponytail outside

Question

Last night a storm broke it in half can the top of it be saved

Answer 1

It's not clear if the top of your plant can be saved, but it's worth a try to get it into some soil to see if it will root. The bottom half should survive, however, and the break may generate some new growth.
