Small understory dypsis palms

Featured Replies

The small understory dypsis palms are just so beautiful. They just fit perfectly in the garden. IMG_2155.thumb.jpeg.3a8c3d36845f5038c7789b8255b1b45f.jpegDypsis minuta IMG_2156.thumb.jpeg.574af9ce79c2bfa0593615c50368c35f.jpegdypsis minuta IMG_2151.thumb.jpeg.262a625dd1747f8f4b0b1fc017408469.jpegdysis sp IMG_2150.thumb.jpeg.fe39bac02d687804f501e37828adfe1a.jpegdypsis dypsis forcifolia IMG_2148.thumb.jpeg.d6d6f8de547bddbf5cd995678dc8915a.jpegdypsis lantzeana IMG_2149.thumb.jpeg.15e89dd20cd77efee22fce3840992cc8.jpeg

I’ve only tried the Lanceolata and Basilonga in the garden between larger palms and they seem to be liking it as understory palms , the former being the larger , faster growing of the two.  I think they may be larger ,  as time goes on , than the species that you pictured . I just love them though . The ones you have are beauties there . I would certainly give them a go if I had the room and access to seedlings . I’m not sure which ones will end up as Chrysalidiocarpus , though that doesn’t really matter to me . HarryIMG_4868.thumb.jpeg.8e43fd05dc1a780b39947b8458b943f3.jpeg

 The double Basilonga with twine holding them secure in the breezy location. Very little direct sun here . You can see the new frond just opening on the right . That’s the second frond to open since planting the almost 2 years ago.IMG_4858.thumb.jpeg.f9c0b29032d09646676b7a916682a2f0.jpeg

The Lanceolata is faster , and much tougher . No need to secure this one . It has seen a bit more dappled sun and a lot of wind.

The lanceolata are quite fast growing and tough palms and the basilonga is one fantastic example of the palms from Madagascar. And the small understory ones are just the icing on the cake.
