How big is your biggest weed? Is it/are they solitary or clumping?

[Sabal Steve]

I usually don't show my understory right away. But, 5 or 6 beers later....

[O'o Bar Master]

Lee is a huge fan of understory palms and there are literally dozens planted throughout the garden. I confess I don't know most of them by name. Here are three that I do know.

Chamaedorea tuerckheimii

Licuala mattanensis var. paucisecta aka licuala mapu

Licuala triphylla

I have a small front garden. Starting to put in understory Dypsis under some of the canopy.

Dypsis lantzeana

D lutea or might be sanctaemariae

D scottiana

D louvelli

D boseri

[colin Peters]

Row of 10 Dypsis minuta as a border, with Dypsis hiarakae on the left, Dypsis interrupta in the middle and Dypsis scottiana on the left. They are all in

pretty tight quarters, but I now realize that many don't make it. Will have to get thin the canopy eventually, but it works for now.

[colin Peters]

Areca red macrocaylx as outer canopy, with Dypsis lantzeana, forficifolia (which has its first abortive flower), Dypsis boseri, mostly hidden

Dypsis brevicaulis.

[colin Peters]

Sorry not forficifolia, but Dypsis poivreana.
