Looks dominated by filifera genes to me.

Again, some real rare stuff in there.

Some rare stuff in there Richard.

Well done. Also like all Dypsis, these guys love and need excellent drainage to be happy. They were one of the first Dypsis I ever germinated about 25 years ago.

There are some left, but I can only ship the un-sprouted ones. The P.O. throws pkgs around and would probably break sprouted ones.

I walk by that tree everyday and was wondering what it was haha

Yes, I believe it was renamed to calcarea sometime in the past decade.

Hi Charlene. Any of these left?

Yea , odds are against survival of the In And Out palms. Freshly planted and vulnerable , the winter will not be kind to them. I would think the outfit that planted them would tell their customer the true chances of survival . That was not cheap to have those trucked up there and installed. Maybe they will have some heating cables installed. Harry

Perfect! Patience pays off , those are very healthy looking examples. Will they end up in the garden someday? As far as Holy Grail palms , I have a couple in my garden that I didn’t realize how special they were until I had them a while . Dypsis are certainly in that category. After all the work I put into getting the Decipiens seeds out to folks , I realize ….i really want one! I have a few seedling that are surviving so far . If they beat the odds ( don’t know yet ) they will be on that short list. Harry ‘These were dug up from around the parent palms . Really being careful to give them every chance of survival, a real gamble at this stage. they are well over their first month old and …..🤞🙏. If I can get them through the first year or so , I will feel much more confident.

When a palm grows slowly in Hawaii, that means it is very slow! Beautiful palm , you will have years of enjoyment. I have found the slower varieties are very rewarding , as long as you have so many others to look at . Harry

Thanks for the info. I expected a fatter trunk based on what I've read on here. But now that it's planted on the ground, maybe that will change. There's a good chance that it's a filibusta, but with minimal robusta traits.

Not a coconut palm . Not sure what it is but it is a crown shafted palm with a very slender trunk and green , ringed spacing. Looks like it would be a relatively fast grower in the environment it’s in. Harry

Tim I had Brahea sarukhanii, but also these species has been lost, but the last word has not been said, I will try again

They're very pretty, Richard. Someone in Colombia was selling me 10 seeds for $12 USD each. These Sabinarias Magnificas are gorgeous, my friend. Worthy of a palm collector.

This is definitely not a Coconut Palm. And I do not believe that it is a Christmas Palm (Adonidia) either. The petiole/rachis does not look like Adonidia. Can you get a picture of the seeds? That will help identify it.

Hopefully to ensure the survival of rare and endangered species.

Sabinara are one if a kind in the plant kingdom.

After 3 years a batch of 100 Brahea sarukhanii seeds from RPS had done nothing. I had basically given up on them. Then this caught my eye today…

Well John, I think your next splurge is on some lumber to build a new bench for more space actually.

After buying what was the supposed dypsis ambositrae 25 years ago. Thinking it was in my collection then it flowered only to turn out to be dypsis plumosa. The first release of dypsis ambositrae in Australia was not the real ambositrae originally sold as wild collected dypsis ambositrae. So since the disappointment of the fake one, it was on to try and find the real deal. Well as luck had it i finally got my little cultivation fingers on the real deal ambositrae. They shall be prized in the collection getting my full grow attention!

A nice variegated Japanese rhapis zuikonishiki, and the hookeri flowering away. Got my attention again.

I like it! I like it that much I purchased 50 seedlings the other week🌱

Thanks for the information. Just one clarification, is Brahea calcarea identical with Brahea nitida?

This Calyptrocalyx polyphyllus is growing SLOWLY but happy in pretty much full shade. Love the nice RED new frond. Itʻs been in the ground since Feb. of 2022 from a small one gallon pot from FB Palms. So nice to be able to post pictures from the computer again. Just had to change over to Chrome.
