thickest Dypsis Decipiens trunk ever: in photos


Sandy Loam

Recommended Posts

I just noticed the following photos in Palmpedia of a Dypsis Decipiens with a trunk wider than the man standing beside it:

The tree is apparently in Brisbane.

I also recall seeing a photo of a car parked near a Dypsis Decipiens, and the tree made the car look small.

Now I am wondering if my Dypsis Decipiens needs more room to grow than it has in its current location.

In any case, please post your photos of the fattest dypsis decipiens trunks on the planet.

Here's a photo from about 5 years ago of Pauleen Sullivan's Dypsis Decipiens in Ventura, CA. I'm sure this is even bigger now!

Wow. That tree is about three times the width of your wife. I wonder if anyone has a more recent photo of Pauline Sullivan's tree to post.

Here is the same tree about four years ago, only slightly more recent than your photo:

I have also attached two more photos from Palmpedia of Dypsis Decipiens with very wide trunks.

Keep on posting your photos, everyone!

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!
