Dypsis prestoniana. But he does not grow as many Dypsis as a lot of us do now. It is not the fastest as many will attest.

I don't know, I'm not a Dypsis guy- don't want to pick 'em up because I'll just be too heartbroken every winter when they all die.

D. onilahensis - Darian stiff form, not Slick Willy. (at least it is in my coastal SoCal garden - inland Vista may be a different story - and further inland different still)

That is Dypsis prestoniana. And a little history on "Big Curly" and "OCWS", they are two different forms of Dypsis prestoniana. OCWS was collected further north then "Big Curly". Recently Mardy has called all his Prestoniana's "OCWS". As many that grow both the "Big Curly" and "OCWS" will tell you, "OCWS" is slow and looks not near as nice and seldom holds many leaves. Anyone who saw his massive "Big Curly" on the hill can see why that form of Dypsis prestoniana will be such a perfect plant for SoCal. It was holding 12 dark green leafs and looked perfect. And it does grow very fast for a heeled Dypsis in SoCal. But it certainly is not the fastest Dypsis in SoCal.

The "Big Curly" version is what Mardy use to say was the faster Dypsis before he lumped them :)

Maybe once they get in the ground they speed up.

For me, sort of a So Cal climate, D leptocheilos has been the winner. I put in 1.5m pot bound plants in the ground in Jan 2007 and now they would be 7m tall with 4m long spears.

D lutescens is pretty quick too.

My D decipiens I planted out from a pot has doubled in height from 1-2m in one year. They aren't really as slow as some make out.

I can't wait to get my D prestoniana's out in the ground. I have one big one in a 30L pot and a heap of little ones. This is good news from the Darian residence. :D

Best regards
