clumping Dypsis perfection

[MattyB]

It doesn't get much better than this. Post some of yours

[NApalm]

I love this time of year. All you northern hemisphereans get excited and get out taking photos after some warmer weather. Nice topic Matt. Ill get a pic of my only good sized clumper (D. lutescens) tomorrow

[Tassie_Troy1971]

Hey Matty isn't that the one you were going to chop down to make more light for the Trachycarpus !

[Stevetoad]

Very nice! Did you ever figure out what it is?

[Jastin]

That IS perfect!

[Mandrew968]

Great color. Looks a little too thick for albofarinosa... I have seen a lutescens/cabada hybrid that looked very similar to that one--probably a hybrid lutescens of some sort. That white is striking...

[Dr. George]

Well, there is the D. albofarinosa that we have seen before:

And then this D. lanceolata put on a bit of a show this Spring:

Matt,

This is a very civilized clumping Dypsis ! Congratulations!

is it a D. lutescens? or some hybrid?

Definitely Dypis are NOT passé ! D. albofarinosa looks very good too.

Thanks for the pics.

Philippe

[Hammer]

Yeah, that really is a nice looking Dypsis. Well done.

[MattyB]

I do not know exactly what this Dypsis should be called. It's one of many in the D. onilahensis/baronii complex.

[Got Palms]

Here are 2 of mine Baroni and Lancelota dont know if Lancelota will continue to clump more or is that it for that species does any one else know? it seems Lancelota only puts out 3 and Pembana 2 Baroni seems endless!

[Dr. George]

... dont know if Lancelota will continue to clump more or is that it for that species does any one else know? it seems Lancelota only puts out 3 ...!

Here is a D. lanceolata at Floribunda with 7 or 8 stems of various sizes:

[palmislandRandy]

Here's a D. lanceolata by my pool that never got into the whole clumping idea.

[Bill Austin]

That is a sweet one Matty I have some of those and it's one of my fav. here is a D. arenarum .

[Kennybenjamin]

Nice thread! I love dypsis!

I Can't take credit for the palms in these photos but I thought they were worthy of this thread... I hope the owners dont mind?

From the awesome garden and collection of Bill Austin "FM" (thanks Bill!) comes this beauty...

Dypsis sp. ??

And From Dypsisdeans "FM" equally awesome garden (thanks Dean!) this stunner, it was getting a little dark in Deans jungle so the flash came on... (Funny you have just posted the same sp. as me... You beat me to it)

Dypsis arenarium.

I will post some photos of my own 1 or 2 of my own palms in the next few days.

I also look forward to the (hopefully coming soon ) "single Dypsis perfection"

Dypsis lutescens, D. Pembana, D. lanceolata, Dypsis madagascariensis and a not dypsis, Areca triandra

Redant,

Thank you for these very good pictures.

You show a beautiful D. lutescens which we may find too common but actually can be a nice plant.

Could you post other pics of your D. pembana? we don't see the crownshaft.

I see fruits on your Areca Triandra, and I wonder how to make the difference with A.concinna which is the endemic Areca we have in Sri Lanka...can someone tell the difference?

Kindest regards

Philippe

[Trópico]

Yours is still the winner Matty, what a nice clump! My D. cabadae is just about to trunk, at that point where there is some green in between growth rings.

[NApalm]

Here you go. I know, i know, just a D. lutescens. But i love the colours of this palm. This is a photo i posted a few months ago but yeah.

I love lutties! The yellow and white trunks are stunning! That's a great looking palm.

[NApalm]

Cheers steve. Its funny how good they look with a bit of water and fert. For alot of people around here they are a plant and forget/neglect.

Looks like yours prove your point.

[Bill Austin]

Here is one more dypsis that clumps and is agreat great landscaping palm dypsis paludosa entire leaf.

[NApalm]

Great palm bill. Grown to perfection. These are very hard to find here in Aus. Everytime I see them cheap in hawaii I kick myself. Haha. One sweet sweet day...

[doranakandawatta]

Nice palm, Bill,

When I buy D.mirabilis "entire leaf" in Hawaii, is it the same palm?

If yes, I am very happy to get it soon!

Regards

Philippe

[realarch]

Good looking palms guys, I thought I'd throw a couple more into the mix. I got the first two as D. albo sp. and at that time they looked the same. Not even close now.

All of these, with the exception of the D. ambanja, were planted in 2008 and 2009.

D. albo #1 #2

D. lanceonada

D. pembana

D. ambanja ( been in the ground about 3 months now.

[MattyB]

Look at that powder on the lanceo nada! That must be a new palm. I don't know any known palms that look like that.

[Bill Austin]

Philippe I have not heard it good luck called by that name but that is not to say it is not the same palm.

[Bill Austin]

Thought I would give some of the smaller dypsis equal time.So anyway here are 4 more dypsis bosseri, dypsis remotiflora,dypsis minuta,dypsis procera.

Philippe sorry about the confusion in my response to you. I ment to say is I have not heard dypsis paludosa by that name but it could be the same palm.

[Kennybenjamin]

You guys probably get sick of seeing this palm but here it is again anyway...

And another...(hard to get a good photo of this one)

[NApalm]

WHOA!!! Is that your place Ben? It's going off!!!

[MattyB]

continuing with this thread...

Dypsis sp. 'Cuesta Linda' (a baronii/onilahensis type from Jeff Bruseau's garden)

[MattyB]

Another unknown upright clumper

[MattyB]

Dypsis onilahensis weeping form. But wait, it's not clumping...oh well.

[MattyB]

and we'll circle back around to the same plant that started this whole thread

[Stevetoad]

Matt! Do you remember what this one looked like when it was a little guy? I have one that is solid green with no color and is suckering like crazy. I'm hoping it will turn into this type.

[MattyB]

Here's a pic of that clumper 5 years ago Steve. They go pinnate early, sucker early, are very colorful, with a green stripe on the crown shaft where the petiole is, and have a white lower spear. They handle full sun from small 1 gallon size and grow like a mad man on mad man juice. They loose the color pretty early on, so if yours is bigger than this picture it still may be the same palm.

[Stevetoad]

Mine looks smaller. Handles full sun just fine and grows pretty fast. Must not be the same as mine is about as dull as you can imagine.

I have a D. oni upright form that looks like the spitting image of this palm. Mine is very small at the moment. Is that was you suspect yours to be?
