It’s a beautiful sunny morning here in Hilo (a nice change from an extremely wet month of March).  

This section of the garden was begging to be photographed in the morning sun.

The three tall palms in the photo above (from left to right) are: Dypsis sp. Mayotte, Dypsis Pembana hybrid (probably w/ madagascariensis) and Dypsis Prestoniana Hybrid (also most likely crossed with Madagascariensis).

In the foreground toward the left is what we are hoping is the true Dypsis Tokoravina.

The Dypsis Prestoniana Hybrid is one of my favorite plants in the garden. It is at the perfect height to really enjoy it right now. The downside to how fast it grows is that soon it will be too high up to really appreciate it.

this was planted from a 2 gallon pot, less than 3 years ago!

Dypsis Prestoniana are fast here, but this hybrid is a rocket. 

Heres a Prestoniana planted out from a 1 gallon pot about the same time. Hard to tell scale but probably 10’ tall to the tallest point.

I’ll try to update this thread with some more Dypsis pictures from the garden. As time and lighting allows.

We will be looking forward to it.  Seeing how fast palms grow there, it begs the question of why bother getting anything other than little 1, 2, 3 gallon plants?  Even though we see it in your garden and others, it is still mind boggling how fast some of these same palms are that we try to grow in our gardens.  Most of the time, I'm able to tamp down the voice of envy perched on my left shoulder and appreciate seeing the potential of plants in my garden and just enjoy seeing yours.  Key word in that last sentence is "Most".  Gorgeous, and looking forward as usual to your updates.

I see Jason you have taken very well to the island life.  Those pics are amazing.  That prestoniana hybrid is a true beauty!!  I love the leaflet arrangement.  It seems somewhat more relaxed than the standard prestoniana.  At least compared to mine in the high desert.  Please continue to update so we can get our Hawaiian palm fix.  ;)

Thought I would bump this with a few more Dypsis photos from my garden. 

First up is this unknown hybrid:

Dypsis Lafazamanga:

and this inflorescence is opening up on a Dypsis Pembana Hybrid. Lots of fuzzy red tomentum on it makes for a nice look:

hard to get a picture of the entire palm:

its behind and to the left of the Dypsis Prestoniana Hybrid shown on the right:

Is there any chance your mystery Dypsis could be Dypsis ambositrae?

It is suggested that it can clump, has some of that white chalky appearance, similar leaf configuration, but for me, the low of 27 deg. F is appealing.

Thanks for the compliments.  I wish I practiced that same self control and spacing in all of my garden!  But at least I can show off this section and have it look good, hah!

It looks somewhat like a beefier version of Dypsis Ambositrae, but that's probably not in the lineage of this one.  Reason being is this came from a seed grown palm at Floribunda, and they don't have any Ambositrae seeding yet.  I know they have gotten Ambositrae seed from Madagascar and grown it to sell (I have some of those in my garden as well), but this was not from Ambo seed.  

When I originally purchased it,  Jeff and Suchin seemed to think it was from Dypsis "sp Hankona" seed out of their garden.  It's very possible that it crossed with Dypsis Sp Bef which is right next to Hankona in their garden.  And it split just like Sp Bef does.  So maybe that is it?

Here's what it looked like when I planted it in May 2018, so only 3 years ago!  Who would have thought it would look like it does now!!

Wow!

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!

Beautiful plants Jason! Love seeing what you have been able to create over there in Hilo!

I had the same thoughts at first regarding that "white" palm since it does somewhat resemble Ambositrae, but looking at that pic from when you planted it seals the deal.  As a small plant it looks nothing like any of the ambo seedlings I have ever seen.  Totally agree with Bill that "I woulda never guessed", it would turn into what it looks like now!

Beautiful palms regardless!!!

BTW, Floribunda does have these now as I just received my Dypsis ambositrae and albofarinisa seedlings from Jeff today.  Can't wait to see these size up in pots on my patio....
