I had a skinny one that I pulled out on Monday. I’ve seen them skinny in other gardens as well. I think these just tend to do that? I’m thankful I have some looking a bit on the fat side! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Circumference just below the last retained crownshaft base of that Dypsis prestoniana is 27.5 inches, which would translate to about 8.75 inch diameter. It is a little wider at the base of the palm, but tough to get anything around it down there because of bromeliad's planted up against it on one side. I was surprised it wasn't a thicker diameter, but looks can be deceiving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't thrilled about planting a coconut in my yard (all the neighbors have them and do the trimming and I get to enjoy them) but when I saw the colors on these I had to have one.

Tracy 4,605 Report post Posted September 17, 2020 My other Dypsis prestoniana is starting to show some nice color after the last leaf leaf base fell off. Rings are a lot tighter on this one compared to my other one so I'm not getting the nice striping below yet, but maybe eventually. Had to give the full monty shot of it too in the last photo as its got nice structure besides the color. 7 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Merlyn 1,108 Report post Posted September 26, 2020 Yep, this is why it's nicknamed the Flamethrower! Today it's almost parchment-colored, especially when backlit by the sun. Tomorrow hopefully it'll turn pink & red, but it's beautiful today! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
