Can A Foxtail Palm Be Planted To Achieve A Curved Trunk ?

Question

One week ago I planted a 6ft Foxtail. I just purchased (not yet planted) an 8ft foxtail. Can I plant them about 1ft apart and at a slight angle to achieve a curved trunk look safely ? I’m in So.Calif. zone 9

Answer 1

Yes, but the best way to do this will be using wire, as you would a bonsai, to keep the bend in place until it holds on its own.
