I love the bluey silvery colours on my Dypsis cabadae.

Those are awesome Wal.  People claim D. cabadae doesn't look that good here, but I think I might have to try a couple anyway.

What we sell in Florida as 3 gallon plants might have a sucker on them, but one grow in full sun should show clumping after the base is 2-3 inches in diameter.

Dypsis cabadae is a nice, clean, low maintenance, clumping palm for us.  I have two and will be planting more.  Here's one of them . . .

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!

Hoagie:

I'm inclined to agree with Dave.

I've got one I've had in a pot for a while, and it's doing great.  Just planted it in the ground, will post a pic soon.

Those pictures reminded me how colorful my spindle palm looks in this picture of my wife:

The ones I have come across have a hint of triangular habit.

There was quite a few cabadae x decaryii hybrids getting around a while ago. Maybe this is some of them.

When do they clump ?

I have one that is three gallon and I have taken several suckers off of it already and started them.

So i would guess it would depend on the palm when they sucker.
