I have four 1 gallon Dypsis for sale.

Here is what I know about them...

I have two in the ground.

They with stood 113 f. in October with no problem.

On December 31 I had to go to Lake Elsinor to see K. W.. I had too much ice on my wind shield for a credit card.

It took me minutes to get the ice out of my garden hose so I could de-ice my windshield. I got to Kevins before

sun rise. His vehicles were only lightly frosted. I must have got hit with a micro blast of very cold air!

They only got minor burn from upper 20's f. as you can see in the pics I just took.

None of them in the green house got burned!

They produce multiple trunks that are colorful.

Here is pics of one of them.

I am going to the meeting this Saturday. I can bring plants there.

$30.00 each

Any idea what they are? They look pembana-y.

Photos do look like D. pembana. Described hardiness fits too. What a great palm.

Aaron,

I have one with your name on it.

Meg,

If it was D. pembana wouldn't it have fried in the upper 20's f. ?

Randy, my D. pembana took down to 28.5 Jan. 10/11, 2010 after a day of freezing rain on Jan. 9. Had only some spotting & tip burn. This past winter it took numerous nights of frost & down to 32 without a blemish. Tough palm. But I'm not expert enough to say what you have is D. pembana.

Meg,

Can you post a pic of yours. The booklet Palms for Southern California states that D. pembana is one of the more marginal Dypsis for S. Calif..

I know the booklet could be wrong as this is a new palm tree for the area when it was published. It states they can take 32 f. and unknown on the heat.

Thanks, Randy

They're definitely in the D. pembana looking group, they vary a bit and not all of them seem to be this hardy. So these particular plants might be good for you inland people to try.

I have a pembana in my small cold frame that took 30F for 5+ hours with no damage at all, while a mayotte next to it was worthy of the green waste can. It's an odd palm which seems to tease us with cold hardiness, but there are still only a handful mature ones after being tried 15-20 years in SoCal.

D.pembana - IMO

Got quite a few that went thru 28f for hours (some within the dripline of tall Queens, others under 30% shadecloth) without visible issues.

Inland they are just OK for full sun,they really don't like Santa Ana winds (dry) but they have no problem with heat,not at all.

Happy growing,
