Dypsis bejofo Confirmation


Rory

Recommended Posts

I bought this awhile ago from Pete Balasky as the true D. bejofo. I'm pretty sure that the ID on it's correct, but I haven't seen a ton of others this size so I wanted to see if I could get a confirmation on it. Thanks for any input.

Looks like what I got as Bejofo. This is actually a pretty rare palm in cultivation. Bejofa is much more common so congrats.

Sorry for my ignorance, is D. bejofo an other species than D. bejofa or is one of them a wrong writing?

Thanks

Bejofo is a true species. Another plant that came around as Bejofo and seen in many gardens now days was found to be some unnamed species, and then tongue in cheek, the name was changed to "Bejofa". So two different palms.

Thanks Len. It was the only one Pete had so I got lucky. I think he said he'd been growing it for something like 10 years, definitely on the slow side.

I have one that size also, definately looks like mine. Im not sure if ill be alive to see mine trunk in so cal, it is as slow a dypsis as ive seen. But if it stays alive and continues to grow it will be well worth it, it is truly one of the more impressive palms of Madagascar.

I have one from Pete too. I am with Len--thought they don't grow well for us here... Good luck!

Is yours not in the ground yet Andrew? The biggest issue with the Dypsis that don't grow here seems to be soil, which, as of yet, I don't think is going to be a problem with bejofo. I had a basilonga planted at the same time about 10ft away from the bejofo, that went downhill almost immediately and died a couple of months later. I figured it was a soil issue, and Pete later told me the same thing happened to three of his, after he planted them, due to soil also. The bejofo hasn't looked any worse since I planted it about 4 months ago, and has opened a nice healthy looking leaf since the picture I took.
