Darold Petty was kind enough to come visit me yesterday at our home in Leucadia. We enjoyed the sunshine and sipped on some cold IPA from a San Diego microbrewery while wandering around the yard looking at palms and talking story. It was a great visit and a pleasure meeting him. Perhaps the most exciting part for me was unpacking the Dypsis baronii “black stem” that Darold brought down for me. He did an amazing job of packaging the palm too. Absolutely pro. After touring the yard Darold headed out and I immediately went to a nearby nursery to grab a bag of soil so I could upsize the palm. Here’s a few photos.

Here’s the palm upsized sitting next to my potted “Chambeyopsis” oliviformis that’s on deck. I plan to leave it under the quadruple Howea forsteriana for a couple months which is my “greenhouse”. The rest of my potted squad lives there because it gets almost all day filtered light from the canopy of the fronds.

Hopefully I can acclimate it in 2 months and plant it in June.
