I never knew you could do a variegation on palm trees, let alone a foxtail palm. Very very cool!

Ya it happens, but it's extremely rare.

There is over a 1 in a million chance of getting a variegated baby from a green tree, and only about a 1 in a thousand chance from a variegated mother tree, needless to say they are far and few between.
