I've had a pair of Dypsis Dark Mealy Bugs planted since around 2013 or thereabouts.  Its hard to get a decent clear pics of either now because everything around them is growing big as well.   Anyway, here's a few pics of both.  These days, each produce about three leaves a year, but they were a lot slower at the start.

Wow!! Those are fantastic. Well done.
 

I have a super small one planted in the garden. It’s slow going and not dead so I’m happy. Dark Mealy is 20yrs to trunking for us if lucky. Specifically wanted one cuz I know it’ll be small as others grow up surrounding it.

Wow Steven, they are stunning palms!!! Love the dark petioles against the white leaf bases. I have small seedlings that are glacial, but healthy. If they turn out half as good as yours, I'll be chuffed.

For those of you that frequent Facebook, I’ve set up a group called “Pommy palms”, where many of the palms I’ve seen since emigrating to Australia have been documented. If you wish to be a member, copy and paste “Pommy palms” into Facebook to view the page and click “Join group”.
