Dypsis "Cuesta Linda"

[Bags]

Not sure if these are available but I am looking for one any size. Thanks, Aaron

Phil had a bunch. If not, you can track down Jeff Brusseau (sp?). He has a lot of seedlings off his trees.

I have a theory that the clumping D. baronii/onily type that's being sold as D. ambositrae might be one in the same as D. sp 'cuesta linda'. I've got both and should be able to tell soon. Phil might have some D. cuesta linda left but if he dosen't get the D. ambositrae that's labled wrong and clumps. You'll love this plant. It's fast, has great purple color, clumps vigorously, and can handle full all day inland sun from a 1 gallon plant and look perfect.

Can't you guys get it together out there? I bought a couple of small ones from the great Louie Hooper. Their doing great.

Thanks for the replies. Jeff from Trabucco canyon has some so I am going to try and meet up with him.

Matt. I have the palm you described so I may already have a D. cuesta linda. Here is a pic from last summer. What do you think?

[LJG]

That's not it. And the one Phil was selling does not turn out to be like the "Cuesta Linda" Brusseau has. I have both. The one Phil has grows out of that 'look' and clusters pretty profusely. "Cuesta Linda" Baronii's are all single that I know of. Just FYI.

It is strange that there are a few different 'Cuesta Linda' palms floating around. I would think they would all be from Brusseau's palm and would all be the same. I guess I will just have to get them all.

The 'real' ones are all from Jeff's plant. Seed has been going around for a long time. The plant Matty was taking about that Phil sells as D. ambositrae 'not red' or something like that, is not the same the 'Cuesta Linda' plant. However Phil does have true 'Cuesta Linda' too - labeled as such

In the end they are all D. baronii/onily types. The thing that is cool about this plant is they most seem to stay single - which is desirable by some.

Len,

It sounds like this plant is not staying single for everyone. Aaron

Well it is a Dypsis.

Len, My D. sp 'Cuesta Linda' (from Phil via Jeff's seed) has split right down the middle and dosen't seem to be growing very vigorously in the full sun. My mislabled D. ambositrae clumper is profusely clumping as you said, and loves full sun and is crazy fast. So you must be right, I guess they are different. They both have distinct purple coloring as young so I thought they looked the same.,

alright alright alright enough of the craziness... ill add some more, i have a cuesta linda from Mr Bresseau his self and mine is still solitair. deep purple colored crown but it also has a heel not sure if the ones you guys are buying have or do not have a heel. ill snap a picture and show u guys what i have looks nothing like baronii, closer to what the "true ambo" looks like but still a few differences
