Dypsis species Dwarf update

Out of about a dozen seeds I germinated, I have two healthy palms remaining of this undescribed Dypsis. I planted them together at the edge of my back yard jungle next to the walk. I believe Ed/edric is the only other person growing this undescribed palm in FL.  He periodically posts updates on his specimens. More and more I see that this palm belongs in the Vonitra complex. You can see that in the dark brown fibers that clothe the trunks. New leaves open reddish-bronze before turning green. Fronds droop quite a bit. Not fast growing but consistent.

    I was gonna chime in but looks like you guys got this one covered.

    Interesting. I have a D. pusilla in a pot. Will have to bring it over for comparison. Sound like my "species" actually has a description. I like it anyway.

    How about this one? It came in as utilis, but does utilis flower this small? This palm is in a three gallon--the palm previously split into two palms and now both heads are flowering. The leaves are kinda fused too. Whatcha think???

    So utilis flowers at about a foot of tunk? Wow...

    trauma induced?

    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!

    I thought it was looking good... what trauma?

    I know palms will try to flower if they sense the end is near... however it rarely results in seed, so maybe all is okay! :greenthumb:  IIRC somewhere I have a pic of a Dypsis mananjarensis trying to flower in like a 5 gal pot I had...

    I am well aware of such a response. I just don't see any real stress on this plant. I have seen its growth over time and it is doing well from what I have observed. So I inferred it was just flowering early--I dont expect any seed in this batch or the next but over time, and when I repot her, she should set seed as a very small palm.
