Dypsis ambositrae

[edric]

Well it looks now like Matty is right, there must be a great similarity between D. ambositrae seeds, and D. baronii, cause this sole palm out of nearly two dozen, is obviously different, the one with the pink being the odd ball, Ed

So the first two pics are D. ambositrae and the second two pics are the clumping Dypsis, baronii or onilahensis type. Right? If your clumper turns out to be the same species as the the ones that got mixed in with the D. ambo batch here in CA, you're gonna love this plant! It's fast growing, takes sun from a very early age, and is pretty pretty pretty!

Hi Matty, yes that's correct, but the seeds would have to be very much alike, as I carefully examine each one, so some how it got passed me, it happened with that dicot from Madagascar, I guess it has happened again, until now I've had a great dislike for palm bushes, with the exception of ambositrae, but I'll adjust, thanks for your guidance, Ed

It's curious that "kindreo" is still turning up. Maybe it's a natural hybrid with baronii? I'm still not convinced that I don't have a couple of ambo x decipiens too.

I did just acquire 20 more sp. kindreo seeds, but those seedlings are 30 months old, Ed

Do you re-use old mix? Maybe it was a late germination.

The seedlings in the photos germinated in approx. 90 days in 2009, the 20 I just received were just sown a month ago, and no I don't reuse old mix on Dypsis, Ed
