Dypsis decipiens upright form

This form really needs a name. Poker straight upright leaves, bluish tinge and very robust. Couple of pics which don't really convey the massiveness!

Geeze Louise, that is massive. Without that cute little 'tree hugger' for scale, one doesn't grasp the girth. 

In that second photo without the leaves, one would think it might be D. prestoniana.

I'm assuming this is in your garden.

The tree hugger is mine but not the tree!  But this is the form most commonly seen here which may have came in a single batch of seed.  Here's another picture which I grabbed off the net showing the upright form and poker straight leaves a little better.

that's at Clive Higgie place and I think Keiths are same form.It is quite possible the Hill rd plant also would have come from keith so quite probably all 3 palm are same seed batch.

I have a couple here but was thinking of chopping out as they get too big and my double one has such long leaves and quick blue/grey.Seeing how big they get at keiths place has made me think I should cut out.My one is similar to university but double and starting to grow faster

so isn't it what you would expect for decipiens

Most seem to have stronly recurved leaves and the leaflets gradually reducing in size towards the end of the rachis.  This form is quite different.

I agree with Richard regarding this unusual form

I personally think it is a diff species from the high plateau related to decipiens

My decipiens are not this form ( which i call the "Straggley leaf version" )

The leaflets on mine are very stiff and are held in a "V"
