Here is a pic of the D. "White Stem" from Dave's Garden and a couple of pics from my D. "Prestoniana". My palm came from seeds collected by Inga Hoffman. Are there similarities or is it wishful thinking on my part?

I've said the same thing before Joe. And in fact I was just thinking that again yesterday while looking at my D. prestoniana. So hard to tell with the size and cultural differences. There are several large Dypsis that have that same general look. I'll be curious to hear from those who've seen the plant in person and are growing the supposed D. prestoniana. Who else has problems with D. prestoniana sunburning even under shade cloth? They seem whimpier than all of my Chamaedoreas that are growing in the same conditions. Wassup wit dat?

Matty,

I have Dypsis prestoniana growing in full sun and it was planted as a 15 gallon. It took about a year but now seems acclimated to full sun. I did protect it with shade cloth for about 2-3 months during that year. Can't wait for it to get bigger.

I've had mine in a bright cold frame (30% shade) ever since I got it as a 4" plant maybe 4 years ago. I've never seen any sunburn - and I've badly cooked some Chamaedoreas in nearby locations in the same cold frame.

Gary Levine more or less thought the same thing, but I think its wishful thinking...looks cool though!!

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

I am about 1.5 miles from the ocean and I had my little two gallon in half day sun for the past few months with no sign of burn. I probably should have waited a few years, but I planted it in full all day sun about two weeks ago. Maybe a mistake, but so far so good. Aaron

They are not the same palm and unless you see it in person you can not make any guesses really.

I have seen 4 White Stems in person and can tell you they are not Dypsis prestoniana. At least none of the few different types of Dypsis prestoniana I have. Plus the man himself that collected the seed and took pictures of the plant in habitat will verify this.

I reckon they're the same palm.

Now let the blood bath begin. :evil:

Yours, Jeff's and Mardy's three are all I know of. I sure wish some of these would have ended up in HI or Australia back in the day.

Yea! In Hawaii they would seed. Then they would become a dime a dozen. Just like St. Luce! You couldn't give them away!
