Dypsis baronii black petiole looking good

A recent planting that’s doing quite well. It laughed at winter, and it’s just starting to tuck itself ready for summer growth. It will be a nice one to have in the garden giving many years joy!

That is great , and good to know. I have had really good luck with the recent acquisitions from my first trip to see Dave . I brought home three different Dypsis / Chrysalidocarpus varieties that just cruised through their first winter in the garden . I think a lot of them can handle cool temps even at a young age . The Decipiens I transplanted from Sullivans garden came up on their own , right out by the street , yet some folks struggle with them . Most of the seedlings even survived the transplant! Harry

I find most dypsis can handle the cool weather. And a few light frost, even the smaller real dypsis can handle the cool weather right from the beginning as seedlings. I germinated some dypsis brevicaulis just before winter and had to remove the lid due to the fact they where being squished in, I thought for sure winter would get them but no they handled it fine and by mid winter I put the tray outside near my house. Didn’t lose one rats got a few but the rest were fine.
