It involved this ...

We call that an 'o'o here. Best tool for digging in rocky soil. Also works well as a lever to move boulders around and is great for five hundred pound tulips;

Awesome. And that palm looks a whole lot healthier than in the earlier photos as well.

In post #34, 5th Photo - you can see the Dypsis sp. Malagasy I got from Meg. Planted May 2013. Here is the same palm as of March 30th 2014.

Randy stopped by last Saturday. He was checking out the Dypsis sp. Malagasy for comparison to the one he got from Meg. He said his looked different and was not 100% sure they are the same. He said mine had much more white tomentum.

Here are some shots from this afternoon.

Has the Tahina gone missing??

Bill - the Tahina is still there. Other plants were planted around it so it was a bit obscured. The last two spikes produced considerably larger fronds. The last is about 4 ft above ground level. Another spike is coming on so as soon as it unfurls I post an updated photo.

Well, the Moose has officially joined the Tahina in the Ground Club. I've been growing this palm since it was a seedling.

Your landscaping looks awesome Ron!

I love simple looks. It's great how you used large boulders on one end.

Steve - the simple look got more complex. Added some color to create a tropical look.

Unfortunately those boulders constitute what my soil is about 12" down. They were placed around the palms to discourage vehicles from running them over. The palms are planted roadside and people have parked in front and then driving forward when they leave. The boulders have saved the palms 3 times already. The added foliage is a psychological barrier. Some people don't care about plants but worry about their cars. The logs were added as an additional barrier. The "boulders" are still there, they are just covered now.

Bill - as promised, here is the missing Tahina spectabilis.

The newly opened spear still has not greened up fully, its not a nutritional thing. Got on a ladder to take these shots.TheTahina spectabilis. tucked in by the surrounding foliage has an overall height of 4 ft.

Is this the new snark thread? If it makes both of you feel better I killed mine this Summer. Very bad choice of potting soil on my part. And it was just starting to hit a stride.

How long ago? Looks around the same size as mine.

Did Kevin get his before you or is he just a better grower? :36_14_15[1]:

http://www.palmtalk.org/forum/index.php?/topic/37998-my-tahina/?hl=tahina

Kevin got his before me and he is also single--in this way, there is no competition.

He is a good grower and has an insane collection and premo taste in palms.

That was real kick in the testy's.

Let's make this clear: I was away, because the summer is, hands down, winner to a computer screen--no warnings or suspension of any kind(having said that, I missed Dean--how are you, buddy?) have I incurred. But now that I am back, I realize how much I missed your abecedarian grammar!

Guys, in reality I am just being playful--when I saw Moose's response and Kevin's picture yesterday, I laughed and wondered if he was having as much fun as I was with the snarky jabs. :happy: Glad to be back!

Here are a couple of updated photos of the Dypsis sp. 'Malagasy' from Meg taken this morning. Its really starting to crank. Thanks again Meg, this palm certainly is draws attention to garden visitors.

Andrew - a definitive ID on this Dypsis has never been resolved to my knowledge. Meg ordered 10 seedlings in 2009, the grower sent 100. Meg did a very nice job distributing this palm to many palm talkers. Until one of the cultivated ones flowers and specimens sent to a Dypsis expert, an ID may not be forthcoming. DNA testing may also be nessasary if this palm does not match up to any known herbarium collections or can be located in habitat. See the threads and link below.

Thanks, Moose. I have heard of many forms of madagascariensis and am one of the interested parties, but so far, only have madagascariensis... Hope it grows well and turns into something neat and unique. I find madagascariensis looks best in the shade--full sun causes it to yellow and develop nutrient deficiencies, from my experience.

It's got trunk (about 3 ft) big fat green with prominent white leaf base scars. Still another unsolved dypsis mystery. Definitely not a black stem. :huh:
