Could Dypsis decipiens be the only Crownshafted Palm for Zone 9a

Keith....do you have a male or female?

It makes some purdy little red seeds. I have not tried them to see if they are fertile.

Concerning to dypsis decipiens, i have two doubles in the ground.

One growing in my 9b yard, facing wet and cold winters, and lower temps around 26/28F yearly.

The other one in my 10a yard, with lower temps never below 32F.

Both in the open, in full sun, growing like weeds :)

But I bet, that your 9b garden never experiences advective frost with snowfall thanks to the Atlantic Ocean to the north, while here one can walk on foot heading northwards till to polar circle. :)

1 of the 7 decipiens purchased from Floribunda in spring has already started showing adult leaves. Summer heat and humidity was nota big factor for them....they do seem to enjoy fall weather.post-97-0-39235500-1414069276_thumb.jpg

I have excellent results from Floribunda, Keith, for a hundred bucks you can get a large number of small test subjects.......and he ships!
