Chrysalidocarpus Sp. Ambanja - first ring of trunk

Two different palms have come in over the years as Dypsis (now Chrysalidocarpus) Sp. Ambanja. The first was a multi trunk palm somewhat like Baronii. The second was a larger solitary palm. Mine has just revealed its first ring of trunk and is a really nice looking palm. Has similar characteristics as Leucomalla (white spear and coloring) and Sp. Dark Mealy Bug with the black flecking. But has a unique look of its own.

Anyone else growing this?

    Well, I’m growing sp. ambanja, but it’s definitely not that palm! Sorta kinda like baronii, but it’s got its own look. Yours looks great whatever it is Jason.

    Super unique looking! Looks like it has a tendency to grow upright like Oliviformis. I see what you mean about the Dark Mealy look too. She’s purdy though, whatever it is!!

    That’s a beauty Jason and getting some size to it. What a nice crown shaft. 

    I’m in Bret’s camp, mine looks nothing like your palm. Tall, thin, wispy crown and it bifurcated. Whatever mine is, it’s an attractive small palm.

    With all the rain we’ve had and the long summer days, this palm dropped another leaf and is now showing another ring of trunk.
