Love the Dypsis Ovobontsira! Don't see that one every day.  How does it do with cooler temps? Never seen it in San Diego, anyone in SD growing this?

Nick, I have the same palm as Wal (whether it is ovobontsira or not) and it went through a Melbourne winter with minor damage.

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!

Hey Wal! Well I've got all of those except for the Ovobontsira and for me the carlsmithii is the fastest of them all.

This is the palm some called the dark mealy bug. Right! That is why there is so much confusion. I brought back from Madagacar what was suppose to be D. ovobontsira. Looks different than anything I seen sold as that. My larger dark mealy bugs are starting to push red leaves.

What if I stayed in a little greenhouse all winter, would I be any faster? or would my bones creak?  :P
