I was just going through some older photos from my yard and came across this picture of a Dypsis Leptocheillos x Decaryi from October 2010:

post-3101-072398400 1326842951_thumb.jpg

This was planted in April of 2010, so just 6 months before this photo was taken.

And here it is today:

post-3101-038251300 1326843013_thumb.jpg

Not bad growth in 15 months. It's at 8 feet tall to the top of the newest leaf.

And next on deck for my Spring 2012 planting is this palm that I was told is most likely a Dypsis Leptocheillos x Lucubensis hybrid. I got this as a 4" seedling last February and here it is in a 3 gallon pot today. Definitely the fastest grower in my green closet!

And here's a closer look at the color and some fuzz:

Feel free to post pictures of your Dypsis hybrids and thanks for looking!

Hi Jason, I planted a Dypsis hybrid today, the famously fast growing Cabadae x Madagascariensis. I'll get an update of my Leptocheilos x Decaryi later. Looks like a week of rain is settling in again too.

Wal - thanks for posting those pictures. I hope to find a cross like that someday here. If anyone reading this has or knows of a cabadae x madagascariensis, let me know! :)

I just planted that Leptocheillos x Lucubensis hybrid this past weekend and will take photos as it grows to keep you all posted. I'm excited to see what it turns into.

Hey Jason, ive posted these before but heres a refresher. In the mix is cabadae x mad Lepto x Triangle and Lepto x mad. The Lepto x Mad looks great when young but grows into a leaf twisting Fugly, all but one of the lepto x mad have been cut down as they became a real eyesore. The Lepto x Tri is looks best out of wind and has appeal. All these Hybrids are extremely Fast. Pete :) im sure you can tell which is which :)

Here's my red triangle from this morning. I think it's a given that most if not all hybrids ("Foxy Lady" arguably excepted) lose their appeal once they have grown up. I still find it tempting to grab one if I ever see one available for some palm nutty reason.

That's her with the tallest spear (this side of the wooden fence)

The triangle shape with red fur, an interesting combo.

Peter and Wal - thanks for sharing pictures of your hybrids! Great looking palms.

Jastin - I look forward to seeing your place, hopefully sooner than later. And make sure to let me know if you are ever out this way. If you come out for the JD Andersen sale this month, let me know and stop by.

jason & Wal -- your red triangles are looking really good!

Anyone know if the D. leptcheilos x D. decaryi will transplant well?

Daryl, thanks for posting those pictures! Great looking palms!

Here are a couple shots of the nicest I've seen here in California. This is at Greg Hamann's garden in El Cajon. Taken at last March's PSSC meeting. The tag said this was Dypsis Leptocheillos x Lucubensis.

And looking down the trunk. Randy (Yachtingone) is seen below looking back up.

Quite the stunning palm!

And here's my small one that I posted originally about, planted in the ground this week. This went from a small 4" container to being fully rooted into a 3 gallon pot in 1 year. I'd say it was about 8" tall when I got it and is now over 24" tall. Every new leaf is considerably taller than the previous. Not 100% sure what this is a cross with (I was told it could be possibly crossed with Lucubensis or Lanceolata), but it will be interesting to watch it mature in the ground.

These things do get quite large. Mine produce seed, but it is never viable...soft centres..

Nicely done Jason. I'll have to remember to Bump this thread occasionally so you can post updates. Has it been in a greenhouse for the past year? Or outside?

JD - That's been growing in a sunny spot in my greenhouse since I got it in Feb 2011. Since planting it a few days ago the new spear has already pushed almost an inch. I'll definitely post updates on it and feel free to bump this and remind me anytime. Looking forward to seeing updates on all of your hybrids as well!
