These first three pictures were taken in the yard, sorry for the poor quality with the lighting. The first shows a new pinkish new leaf emerging. The second is an overall, but there's just too much of other stuff around it. And the third is looking down at the base, showing the beautiful markings. The palm's largest two leaves are 9' tall. It was planted in good shade, but soon I will be removing alot of branches overhead to let alot of direct sun in.

Just last week, I brought home this D. mananjarensis to plant and decided to put it in a nice area of my yard, around the pool. It will get plenty of overhead sun come summer time. It's in a 7 gallon pot and will plant out at just under 6'.

There's a Red Sealing Wax palm off to the left, the large leaf tree is Ficus dammaropsis, and in the background is a very stout, seeding Beccariophoenix madagascariensis.

Dypsis Onilehensis are all the same with no variations. Here they are in habitat.

WHAT? :huh::hmm::blink: I thought it was accepted there were several "types" as it were.... Upright leaf, drooping, etc. albeit yet to maybe be "named".

I bought this as a "black stem". Is this an upright leaf? It doesn't look like the black stem on Palmpedia. It's my favorite today! :D

Jeff, I planted mine directly in full So Cal sun and it has leaves about six to seven feet, but the base is double the thickness of yours. Mine is also holding five leaves at this point. I think you are definately ready to get some more sun on your palm, they appear to respond to alot of sun.

Unfortunately when it comes to Dypsis Tassie's well out of its range for any significant growth . Just too cool for too long - The only one i have is a tiny Baronii that is supposed to be more tolerant of cool conditions . They survive our winter minimums fine but just din't grow.

Jeff, you've got an awesome climate there to be growing those palms so well, and the lipstick well....... :wub:

Troy, D decipiens and D ambositrae should do very well for you, as well as onilahensis. None of them need real heat (30C plus) to do well. I actually think high 30's C can be detrimental to D ambositrae in fullsun. Those 3 would be happy with temps in the mid 20's or less.

Best regards

Peter, Plant your hybrid, it will do great.

Hi Derek, I just planted the decaryi x leptocheilos hybrid and covered it with some coconut palm fronds for some shade. It went from the screened shade house to full sun...I'll keep an eye on it. Sorry to say I lost my foxy lady. Best to you and Justin for the new year. Peter

Well, my preferences havn't changed since I posted the photo in Post #6 just over 3.5 years ago. There'll be lots of Dypsis in my new garden, and my favorites are still all the "big ones" and I have already planted a number of them. They're just not very big yet. A little grove of D. decipiens is already in the ground, and a bunch of D. sp. bejofa are in 2G pots and will form another "bejofa grove" when the time comes. Here are two D. prestoniana and two photos taken from the exact same spot. The first one on Jan. 3rd, 2011 when both were planted, and the second photo taken a few moments ago, 2.5 years later, showing the progress. Interestingly, the scrawny one on the left is catching up big time with the one on the right.

My preference has changed since 2009/10 to Dypsis pembana. I cannot speak highly enough of this palm, I could go on top of Mount Everest and I still could'nt speak highly enough.

Happy Gardening

Hi guys.

Since mine are all in gallon and 5 gallon sizes...I really cant say much re aesthetics and experience of actually growing them.

My fastest growers are the pembanas, carlsmithii and robusta.

The decipiens is not too far behind either.

Robust growers for me in SoCal.

Happy Grrrrrowing.

Thanks for the update Bill, that must be my favourite palm on Palmtalk, very much enjoy charting its progress, a real eye-opener to to what's possible. BTW , how did those lepidotas that you planted cope with your winter?

cheers

Don't blame me for me for this update.. some nice soul gave a rep click and it popped in my feed. BUT I did snap these a little bit ago. This Monster is just outrageous. I measured 14" across at soil line.

IDK how this thread escaped me for so long. LOL.   I really cant pick just one.  I know many dont care for the good old fashioned classic D. Lutescens, but I have always loved it.   It would be one of the top 3 id have. (well I do have a small single trunked one in a pot)   The other two would be D. Deceipens, and D. Onilehensis.   Love both of those!    Who knows,  When I moved to Florida in a couple months (or less now) I may find others that I like just as much.  Man that is going to be fun!
