Purchased as Dypsis baronii seedling and now 5 years later

[surferjr]

Now in a 5 gallon tree pot and I've noticed it has fur like a D. leptocheilos but a heal also?? But what is it??? And what should I do?

I have many options.....

1.) I can call the supplier and return it....ask for refund plus growing fees for the last 5 years. Don't for interest "money double every year plus interest"!

2.) Keep it as I might have a better palm and understand the seller did his best.

3.) Public bastardize the guy on the web.

4.) Live with my purchase and stoked it's alive and bitchen.

Your the experts! What should I do?

But most important.....what is it?

All the best,

clark

Were its first leaves bifid or pinnate?

Don't actually remember as it was a group of palms that were more or less forgotten to be grown out tell they larger for selling.

Wish I could remember..... Steve from San Diego was bewildered along with others as to what it was!

Daryl's elusive Dypsis 215? I don't know if you seen it yet Clark but it is awesome with some your same characteristics. If it is close BS man will pay top dollar.

For me it would be nombre 4.

Many years ago some palms came from Mardy Darian, and they looked similar to dypsis lasteliana, but they grew vigorosly here in Cali. He called them "Big Red" Ron has one and it is awsome, I hope that helps...Bob

This is why I posted it...as I'd called BS Man earlier and told him of this palm. Looks like the 215 from topic

but I'm just taken a guess on what looks to be 2 very similar palms!

Hey Clark, just heard your message and just now saw this thread. I'll bet you have a Dypsis lastelianna. Furry base and a heel is a sure sign. Now the question is "which type". I have 4 different types I planted about 6 weeks ago and yours looks like the standard one. (Prettier than leptocheilos to my mind, but much harder to grow.)

To get to the size you have is TOUGH grow around here. I've noticed once to 5 gal size its easier.

I have a "big red" from Ron also, and the red/tomentum goes most of the way up the petiole.

My 2 cents plus a quarter.

That was my first thought too Bill but just looks different enough to confuse things. Looks cool though time will tell.

but much harder to grow. That would explain the snail pace in growth!

Time will tell...so true...that the best part about these unique creatures....they blow your mind away when they move on to the next stage in growth!!!

Here are some images of Dypsis lastelianna I googled. The fronds seem a little different to me. My two cents says its more of a baroni variation or a '215'

I'll take that 2 cent bet that its lastelianna.

It could be a Dypsis Sp. Lafazamanga. I just stumbled across this image.

OK all the experts have had a crack. Here is a armature’s SWAG Triangle X Teddy cross.

Bill beat me to it, I'm inclined to agree.
