Hello! Here are some photos of a variegated Coconut palm I found in Lihue, Kauai last week! Please enjoy. I'm not much of a variegated palm fan... I prefer the more natural pure green look, but I do enjoy the sight of an anomaly.

Kyle, I'm not much of a variegated palm fan either (they usually look sick to me), but that coconut palm has just the right amount of variegation to make it interesting.

Thanks for the great photos!

Kyle:

That's quite spectacular, actually.

Most variegated palms turn all gnarly brown, but I think the rainy Kauai climate made a difference here.

Keep up the pics!

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!

That's a cool setup, right there.

Hmmm.... nice looking, but in pic#4 there seem to be others similarly varigated. I wonder what's really going on.

Nah, those are just the older leaves on the Dypsis. They always look like that from what I recall. But I will agree that most people in HI don't pay attention to their palms.

The inconsistencies in the discoloration of the leaves on the coco make me believe it's variegated.

Thank you everyone! I felt really lucky to spot it. It is in Lihue and the only variegated palm I saw in the area.

Hai Kyle or others who have access to these variegated palms. Is it possible to send one or two seeds to Holland to find out whether seedlings will be variegated too? I would love to try!
