This morning as I was leaving my beach garden I noticed several small palm seedlings under both my D.decaryi and my D.madagascariensis which is just about 25ft away. Both these palms have been flowering off and on for several years ,but the seeds always seem to be aborted before ripening.

Is it possible that these could be spontaneous hybrids? I will pot these seedings up when I go back to the beach on the 29th.

Sure it's possible.

I have a nice decaryi x lucubensis (form of Madagascariensis) growing here.

It's in the driest park of my garden and gets no love/care but still racing away with typical hybrid vigor.

My D.madagascariensis is the lucubensis form as well. Do you have photos?Does it form multiple trunks?

I knew you were going to want a pic ☺

Will see what I can do, though I'm just working off my phone and don't have a clue how to. Pm me your email and I'll send it to you that way.

And no it remains a large solitary palm.
