Dypsis pinnatifrons var. sambiranensis :

in lokobe, Dypsis pinnatifrons are very robust. For a long time, they were known as a species  : Dypsis sambiranensis, till recently they were considered as synonymous of Dypsis pinnatifrons... For more, go and see https://www.palms.org/palmsjournal/2014/Vol58n4p181-185.pdf

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

I've always wanted to go to Madagascar for the flora and fauna.  Beautiful!

The palms are great to see but the lemurs and boa are amazing! I am blessed to have made one trip to Madagascar (with the IPS) but would certainly love to return.

Thanks so much!

Looks like ampasindavae is an understory palm for quite some time before it breaks through the canopy.

That's the challenge, isn't it?  We are trying to get these palms into sun MUCH faster than they do in nature.  Wonder what it would take to erect 20' tall shade structure over the whole back yard...? :mrlooney:

I used bananas to create a canopy/screen in one of my planters.  The problem with using another plant is that it takes up space where you want to plant.  Been thinning down bananas this past summer to create more space for palms.  Will be done with bananas by next summer.

Joe - in the early days of my Fallbrook garden I put up shade structures in parts of the garden.  Nothing like 20', more like 8' but they did the job.

Several years later, I wish I had more sun coming through and less shade, hah!
