Hi All, I took these pictures when I was in Viet Nam . Is anyone here grow this multiple trunks palm ? If not please feel free post your other multiple trunks palm here.

A Dypsis sp. of sorts I would think. Personally, I've never seen anything like that offered though.

There are many clumping Dypsis species that people grow here, but I don't know of any that branch off at that height.

15 trunks Elaeis guineensis in thailand.

Livistona chinensis...doesn't normally do this, unlike the Dypsis in the original post, which branch frequently

Thanks everyone for comments and share your multiple trunks palm pictures.

Ya want coconuts?

That coconut is unreal

Amazing !!!

where is growing this coconut ?

a couple of branched Dypsis lutescens

Everyone else is playing for second! That coconut wins hands down. Awesome!

Those coconuts are awesome! Looks like two different trees to me as well...

My vote goes to this Livinstona absolutly incredible and beautiful!

I have seen a two headed livistona chilensis but not a 3 headed one that is awesome

WoW .... They are so cool... I love them all, especially the coconuts palms. Thanks guys... Keep throw in more picture please. I have found the cure for my addiction to palm.

Seems like more of a fix than a cure!

yes " fix " it is.

Hi, I think getting back to your original question. The multiple trunk palms in your pictures are definitely Dypsis -- probably the common Dypsis lutescens. I saw them all over Vietnam too. They grow fine here except they can get a little sunburn if you grow them in an inland location. There are many other similar types of multiple trunked Dypsis that do not sunburn here -- and do great and are very easy to grow (Dypsis baronii, Dypsis arenarum, Dypsis ambositrae -- real or "fake", etc, etc..)

Here is a picture of my Dypsis arenarum. I live in Escondido and I planted it out in full sun a couple of years ago. It has no problem with the inland sun and if I start watering it more -- and fertilizing it -- it will definitely take off.

I also want to get Dypsis baronii. There are types of Dypsis baronii that get black stems and bright red new growth, types that are green, and even some that have a little bit of a bluish color to the stems. And I definitely want to get Dypsis onilahensis -- with the weeping leaves.

I'd love to see pictures of peoples favorite clumping Dypsis. I suspect that different people favor different ones.

Thanks Rprimbs for sharing your thought and picture. Multiple trunks palm here I mean palm that branching out with many heads from a single trunk. Not clumping. Thanks again.

When palms that are normally single-trunked branch, they often have a constriction or weak-looking area at the point of bifurcation. Not so with that coconut. Its trunk looks like a well-shaped 20-year-old live oak, as if it were perfectly natural for it to grow that way.

Oops I misunderstood. But I have seen many multiple trunked palms here in town (Chamaerops humilis, and Phoenix roebelenii). Maybe I will take some pictures and post them.

my neighbor has a Dypsis lutescens that's fairly tall, maybe 10' of clear trunk, and he has one that's branching about 3' from the ground

a 40 ft queen struck by lightning 10 years ago just had them trimmed yesterday

and the other just growing by the patio

Here's one I saw in an industrial park. The main trunk split, then each trunk splits again. There's nothing above this palm that may have caused any physical damage & the two on either side are normal.

Great looking palms everyone. Thanks for sharing.

But this would be considered an abnormality, happening randomly? Honestly, I'm surprised there are so many species that seem to have this happen. I only knew of a Sabal palmetto that did this. How rare is this trait?

In many genus of palm branches occur . Some are spontaneous and others are produced by apical damage
