Foxtail palm (Wodyetia bifurcata) with curved trunk
Free CAD block from the Palm trees library (51 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Foxtail palm (Wodyetia bifurcata) with curved trunk, drawn in elevation. It measures 10' 8" wide and 22' 0" high (3.25 m × 6.71 m), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
From the Palm trees library: 51 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
Garden sections, pool-house elevations and a sunny courtyard want a foxtail palm whose curved trunk leans out of a planting bed toward the light. Angle it over a terrace in the foreground of a house elevation, or lean it across a lap pool in section, where the 22 ft (671 cm) height matches a two-story eaves and the curve softens the straight lines of the building.
Clearances to leave
The trunk curve means the crown lands off-center: allow the 10 ft 8 in (325 cm) spread on the leaning side and keep the base 39 in (100 cm) from the pool coping. Hold the lowest frond 8 ft (2.4 m) above the terrace, and plant the next palm 10 ft (3 m) away on the opposite side.
Pairs with
Lean two toward each other over a path as a mirrored pair, and put the Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) in simple outline behind. A Woman in short dress reaching out sideways beneath the arch gives the elevation a sense of occasion.

Design notes
- Street trees are usually planted 19' 8" to 32' 10" apart, at least 3' 3" from the curb.
- A parallel parking bay is about 6' 7" to 8' 2" wide and 18' 1" to 19' 8" long.
- People and cars at real size give clients an instant sense of scale in a facade drawing.
