Dypsis sp. "Yellow Crownshaft" (Possible cabadae x lutescens)

Recommended Posts

I recently collected some seeds from a palm that came up through the nursery trade as D. cabadae. It exhibits a few characteristics that I found odd for cabadae:

-Has a yellow crownshaft that stays this way at the base in direct sunlight

-Has finer leaflets that are more closely spaced

-Doesn't hold the green bamboo look as much as cabadae

-Grows as two large canes and nothing else

I talked to a few people about the palm before coming to my own conclusion, Which was it was more likely than not a hybrid and not a true cabadae. There are tons of D. lutescens in the area, so this seems like the likely outcome. I wouldn't go about saying it is a hybrid, but has the characteristics of both palms.

25 seeds/$15 including shipping in the US. Shipping abroad would be an extra $8. I will sell larger quantities if there is interest

If you are interested email me at cfkingfish@gmail.com.
