This is a Kim inspired thread after posting photos of her D. hovomantsina. More of an update than anything else after realizing just how robust some of these palms have grown.

Dypsis carlsmithii. Planted out back in late 2009 from cones, I’m surprised they even survived as we were going back and forth to San Diego and they were on their own for months. Look for the shovel for scale.

Dypsis mananjarensis. Planted late 2011 from a small 1 gal. Took awhile for this one to get it’s legs, but getting speedy, relatively speaking.

Beautiful trunk and new red emergent petiole.

Dypsis betafaka? Blue decipiens? Not clear on this one. Again planted out in 2011 from a 1 gal. Looked scraggly for a long time, but getting more attractive as time goes by.

D. prestoniana. Planted late 2009 from 1gal. Look hard, there is a shovel leaning on the palm on the left. Just monsters.

Only one photo, probably should take a couple more.

@realarch Such an impressive looking palm! I just got one of these in the mail a couple of weeks ago. Its between 4” and gallon size, how old are these then? 12 - 13 years?

Not to take away from the other Dypsis’, but this is epic! Jealous over here.

Love those hunks of trunks! Nice growing, Tim. Quite a contrast to the ankle biters!

Thanks Kim, incredibly variable genus.

Everyone, PLEASE post your own pics. 

Dean, yes, the D. carlsmithii is 12 years old.

Dean, hope it does well for you. I don’t recall how this palm does in your neck of the woods.

So, I thought I’d throw in some photos of another chunk, a Marojejya darianii. Just a spectacular plant period.

I have three, the big one in deeper soil, a smaller one which has managed to find a fracture in solid rock, and the small one eeking out a life on solid rock. The two smaller ones were planted about a year prior to the big one….location, location, location.
