Dypsis Canaliculata

The Dypsis Canaliculata isn't too common around these parts, so I consider myself lucky to have this specimen which I planted in Jan 2014.  It didn't grow too much for the first 18 months, but now it looks like it's finally starting to move along a little quicker.    I just hope it turns into one of those mature  monsters I've seen pictures of.  Anyone else got one of these?

I bought one about 12 years ago from Rosebud Farm. It's actually growing OK in shade at 35S. It would be about 1.5m above the pot now. They must be a big palm, but whether it's the actual D canaliculata I don't know. According to the POM they hadn't been seen since the 1920's.

Millbrook, "Kinjarling" Noongar word meaning "Place of Rain", Rainbow Coast, Western Australia 35S. Warm temperate. Csb Koeppen Climate classification. Cool nights all year round.

Don't know if you can make it out, but the orange dot in the middle right third of the photo is the trunk of my D. canaliculata.  It was planted in March 2010 from a big pot, 15 gal?  At first the D. prestoniana to the left outpaced it, but now it is catching up.  It is definitely a monster palm.  Maybe I can zoom in...

They're a couple of great looking palms Kim and Fan palm.  Hopefully in 4 - 5 years mine will have some size to it as well.

Mine that was growing well until a rabid gopher or vole attack appears to still be alive. It has pushed a badly damaged spear/leaf but knock on wood still seems to be growing, albeit at 1/5 the speed it did.

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

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!

What an incredible palm....

Anyone growing this one between zones 9b and 10a?

 

This palm can handle 10a for us in california with some overhead protection to keep frost off.

Some closer photos of my D. canaliculata.  You can see it has just started to trunk.

Kim - including the petiole, what is the length of the frond on your palm?

Hard to grasp the scale from your photo but it looks like a Biggin!

I estimate the overall height is probably 25 ft. so the frond excluding the base is maybe 22 ft?   The diameter at the base is around 14 inches or so, maybe more.  It is getting really big, catching up to the D. prestoniana in the same area -- you can get a glimpse of that one in the left of the photo in post #3 above.  It's really exciting to see these palms putting on some size.

Wow Kim, thank you so much for the courtesy of your reply. Easily the Dypsis King relative to leaf size. In fact, its up there as one of the longest fronds in Palm Kingdom. Mine is really struggling, think I may need to put more effort into giving it a better chance at survival.

What a beauty!
