The lovely dypsis basilonga

[happypalms]

A fantastic palm to have in the garden, it grows at a nice medium pace, so a good one to get in as a pioneer palm. The more they grow in my garden the more I like them. Almost a dypsis saintlucei look about them only broader leaflets. A wonderful palm well worth growing.

I always overlooked this species as I was told they are a clumping variety. If they remain a single trunk type then I might have to rethink my decision about them.

Men are always single at dances unless their spouse is with them !

I have had a double for over a year and they are very slow in my climate. Only one new frond per plant since planting them . The leaflets are large for the petiole when juvenile and we have wind here , so I tie them up so the petiole don’t break . I am in zone 10a with no frost where they are planted . Harry

A little over a year ago I brought these home 

This is just after I planted them

The leaflets are very large with fragile petiole

opening a new frond earlier this year.

Tied up and keeping the large leaflets from catching the wind and breaking off the fronds that seem to take a year to form. Harry
