Quite nice and developed, Tim! As we can see, you put it on the ground using rocks, to improve drainage, didnt you?

I hope mine will behave the same way :drool:

Tim,

That is a great looking palm, but 8 years from seed to trunking? Even under ideal conditions Decipiens takes a lot longer than that to form trunk. Looks like it could be Dypsis Ambositrae.

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!

Unless Dypsis ambositrae has clustered leaflets when it gets bigger, it looks like a Dypsis decipiens type to me.

Even though I have seen his poster on your bedroom wall, I still do not get this joke.

Loosing size thru working out... plus those red shorts around the trunk... Wait.

I don't think it's either one. It looks like a combo of the two. Rusty,Phil and I were talking about this today. Decipiens is the new complex. Such as the onilahensis or baronii complex. There is alot of variable DD out there now.

Malcombe, What kind of steroids are you feeding that giant?

Here is a picture of my 6'2" neighbour beside it...

Gyuseppe, I'm not sure about age...probably 10 years..

Perito, Does not get any special treatment or feeding..

regards...Malcolm

Hi Malcolm

Your palms are very robust and healthy. How would you describe your climate?

I notice your Bismarkia is very healthy - what maximum temperatures do you experience in winter?

That Parajubea coccoides looks fantastic - how old is it?

Cheers

Tim....haven't seen you posting in a long time. Also tried to go to your web site Hybridpalms.com and it was no more? Are you still in the hybrid palm business? BTW your DD gives me hope over here on the west coast that I can grow something similar. How did your Bizmarkia fair this winter?

From Medipalm, Almeria, Spain, brought two others d.decipiens (left and right).

They have maybe hundred others, with this same size.

They'll go really nice in your garden Rafael. I think they'll grow just fine for you.

Best regards

I've got about 100 plants in my own nursery. I've heard that seed out of Madagascar of this species has virtually stopped. I haven't seen D decipiens on an RPS list for years. I won't be clearing out my stock in a fire sale either, even though I can definitely do with the space.

Best regards

Sol...

I thought I had replied to you.. we do not have any weather stations in this part of the country so I am guessing that I would have a mean average temp in winter of around 10 degrees C. I am right on the beach so do not get any frosts..I have lost my planting diary and I am now pretty vague as to how old plants are..the Parajubaea c is probably between 12 to 15 years old...

regards...

Hi Bill, yes i know they are too close from each other, but i think they wont have any problem, because they are 30 cm away. And besides that, i am not able anymore to change it. They are already on the ground for 2 weeks, and were planted with too much drainage care, lots of work. And i dont want to bother them now.

But thanks anyway for your advisement!

My together d.d. seem to be not completely fine. Thats because its leaves are kind of yelowing. Two weeks ago i have fertilized them with seaweed. I am afraid i have over fertilized them. What should i do now? Or should it be lack of anything?
