This C. loucoubebsis, ( previously D. ampasindavae), is becoming an impressive palm. Growing fairly fast and typically different shades of green, the leaf sheath has recently turned this yellow/orange color. Usually the color appears after frond drop, so kind of a nice surprise. On a fairly steep slope, great drainage, and of course, lots of water. Still a youngster and growing up nicely.

    Very nice Tim.  The shovel in the last few photos really does help provide scale.  My initial impression was a narrower trunk than when seen with the shovel.  Don't ever lose that shovel!

    Ha! Tracy, that shovel seems to get smaller and skinnier year by year.

    Floribunda Palms (Jeff Marcus) has seedlings available according to their most recent pricelist. You can inquire whether he has any larger ones hiding out in a corner somewhere...
