Ponytail tree (Bonsi)?
Does the ponytail tree produce any type of flowers. I bought one at Walmart and am wondering if it does get flowers

These plants are able to produce flowers, but they rarely do indoors. For them to produce flowers, the plant needs to be quite large, and this can usually only be achieved on plants grown outdoors in the ground.
This website has photos of a mature tree, and the inflorescence: http://desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Agavaceae/Beaucarnea_recurvata.html
Another photo of the plant in bloom with a person in the foregound to give you an idea of the plant's size: http://growsonyou.com.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/photo/image/49374/main/Misc_plant_pics_237.jpg
About the smallest plant I've ever seen with flowers was between 3-4 feet tall, and was grown in a container outdoors in full sun in the tropics, although you could probably get these to bloom in temperate climates in a greenhouse if you used supplemental lighting to increase the day length in the winter.
