Dypsis don’t care !

Like the title says I’m posting these as dypsis jurassic park and dypsis decipiens despite the name change . Jurassic park came from jd andersen as jurassic park had it in a 55 gallon trash can for the last 2 years . Dypsis decipiens came from Perry glen . Planted these today man it feels good to get these in the ground

Kind of thinking I may have to give them a little shade cover during the august September months until they get a little bit bigger

They look great! I would protect the decipiens if you think sun might damage it - it's so slow growing you don't want to risk a big set back

The dypsis decipiens has seen much more sun than the other . I got a couple More gems to plant out still mananjarensis and a robusta and Carlsmithii but I’m going to hold off on those maybe one more season in the pot . I’ve loved watching how these plants have morphed into something completely different over the last few years . The jurassic park which im pretty sure is just a prestoniana looked completely different when I first got it crammed in its little 3 gallon pot about 4 years ago . Got to love chrysalidocarpus !!

Chris, although not a “Jurassic Park”, my variant thereof Prestoniana finally went in the ground a few weeks ago. It grew great in a pot so I’m hoping and optimistic it picks up speed. Gotta love big boy Dypsis.

Chris, Those don’t like being planted too deeply. I can’t see your decipiens’ base or heel in the photo. Also, they grow exceptionally well in shady conditions as long as it’s bright shade so maybe you could try that with one and it would likely handle the heat better.

It has about 3 inches of lava rock around the base hard to to tell but heel is slightly exposed through it .

Ideally you’ll want to keep the soil as cool as possible in your climate. Wood mulch does a better job than rock, even lava rock, at moderating soil temperature as well as keeping soil moisture where it should be.

I agree that the one you got as Jurassic Park looks like Chrysalidocarpus prestonianus.   I have something I got as Jurassic Park from Josh as a 1 gallon.  It came from Jeff at Floribunda originally.   Pretty different than either of my Chrysalidocarpus prestonianus.  Th full monty shot it is in the center foreground.

@Tracy  With those "specks" and long petiole it kinda looks like my Highland mealybug/nauseosa.  Possibly the  "Jerry anderson malcomberi" which I think is the actual pilulifera.. Nice!

Agree with bill. I had one of those few years back killer Palm unfortunately kept it alive in a pot but minute I planted it . It died rather fast not sure what happened there wish I had another one of those jd andersen malcomberi

Agree with mine being prestonianus I have another one that was bought as prestoniana years ago as a seedling from mb palms on eBay it’s grown super well for me about 5 and half feet tall it looks a little thrashed from Winds earlier in the year which I’m finding this one to be more sensitive to wind as it get bigger probably from finally getting tall enough for the winds

to hit it any ideas Definetly different growing habits for sure .

Man this looks killer right now . Yesterday I was out on the other side of the yard at 630 in the morning you could hear the spear popping from the separating very cool. This morning it looks awesome also exposed another spear . This guy took off from the start in the ground . That will be 3 fronds this year each one bigger 🤙

After that last spear on mine opened up, the new spear that is emerging is coming out sideways... and now over the driveway near where my wife pulls her car out of the garage.  The tip already got nipped off once.  See below compared to the last leaf to open which was vertical.  I'm not sure there is anything I can do except to watch and wait.  I'm open for suggestions though.  I hate the thought that as it gets longer and sticks further out I am left with the option of trimming the offending portion off, or just waiting for my wife's car to do the job for me... which wouldn't make her happy if it scratches her paint (nor me actually).

This tree is getting pretty big . Flowered but flower was pretty small and never developed first time it’s flowered . The keel in these is rediculous with the curly leaflets at the tip

Sorry !!! But sort of kind of . I’ve posted this one before it’s gotten huge . Planted as a small 5 gallon not really sure what it is . I could have swore when I got it was lutescens but I coulf of got it as madagascariensis not really sure . Came from Kevin weaver probably 4 years ago or so .

Been on hiatus for a while on PT but man Chris that presto looks great! I think I'll need to try one myself! Decipiens definitely hates the heat here but maybe try a few and one might have the right genetics.

Chris I think you should try again with the Chrysalidocarpus decipiens.  Based on the performance of Jeff's in Modesto and others, I would think you are correct about finding the right one.  Different specimens seem to perform and grow differently.

Chrysalidocarpus prestonianus would be the next best option, so try it too.  The one I have acquired as Jurassic Park seems less hardy though. Happy growing.

My large Dypsis do this from time to time at this stage. I usually gently pull the spear or frond in the opposite direction to straighten it out a bit and then tie it up that way. Seems to help correct them from doing it again. At least that’s my experience.

I would say that your previous guess of it being lutescens x madagascarensis is certainly looking probable based on its traits :)

Nice palms but what caught my eye in the lsast photo was what I'm guessing are 1 foot square stepping squares.  What do the cost over there?  Here at the place that MAKES THEM it's like $6 each.

Funny you bring those up. Eventually I will have a pathway through that side of the property south facing no one goes there . That’s were I have all my carribean stuff hot full sun all day zero shade . Those pavers I found buried in the yard . As im leveling the yard I find them all Over . Trying to incorporate them some how . Found 2 of these big round ones today which look Black concrete . No
