Dypsis onilahensis in the Evening Garden

[doranakandawatta]

seedlings we got in 2013, planted in the garden in august 2016:

Do you think these are the weeping form?

The last one sure looks like it. The difference one the ones I'm growing is that the weepy ones have uniformly "lax" leaves, while the upright form has definite re-curved leaf tips, similar to D. decaryi. Is the third picture onilihensis as well? It's got some great stem color on it..

Sorry, I meant 4th.

Bret, I'm curious as to your thoughts on the one below.  This is a "newer plant" to me, as I do have a couple of older D onilahensis which are clearly "weepy", but this one I'm not so sure about.  It isn't as droppy as the other two I have had for several years.

Tracy,

I was unsuccessfully attempting to find an old thread of mine from way back, in which I showed some progress pictures of an upright form in my yard. At the size of the palm above, it was very close in appearance. The leaves began to recurve as it got it's first ring of trunk.
