Howdy all:

Fixing to plant my wild and woolly back forty with some drought tolerant palms.

I know Dypsis decaryi is drought tolerant but what about others?

How about Dypsis heteromorpha? Saintluciei?

Others?

Onies aren't that drought tolerant in my experience, though I suspect the droopy type might be better.

I'm still dealing with the corpse of my Jubaea. :badday:

Dave, St. lucie does appear to be pretty drought tolerant, although grows much faster with good hydration. I think either Jeff Markus or Ron Lawyer (or both) said they saw them in habitat growing in near pure sand.

Plumosa. I spread some around the garden. Last year and two sprouted. It's all sand for goodness sakes. 

D. Plumosa (I think) can naturalize in Socal.

Okay, I think Dypsis aren't as DT (drought tolerant) as, say Braheas. But, I have a couple of plumies there, skinny, neglected, but, time for another experiment, ha ha ha! :lol:

Yes. You may be right. But, I have neglected this little guy.  The second D. Plumosa. And this guy's is right by one of the San Pedro Cacti. Hence the oversight.... 

Mea culpa.

TheSe aforementioned two were germinated from the seeds you sent DD. I am amazed at their resilience. Honestly. D plumosa.

Just for comparison: I watered the rangaroa this morning. I did not do the same for the D. Plumosa nor the San Pedro. As you can see by the the picture taken 3 min ago. Now I will give it some water.
