Dypsis onilahensis

[Really full garden]

I was not too impressed with this palm for a long time.It just looked like a sickly D.lutescens to me. Now it has received my Most Favored Palm Status.I love its weeping fronds,white trunks and the way it moves in the wind.

Several trunks have produced seed but they always seem to abort them before maturity.

You are right Scott - IMO this is a greatly unappreciated palm, and has always been one of my favorites. It has a few variations, but this weeping form is very pleasing. And this palm is tough - to hot, to cold, and to drought. I always reccomend this one to newer gardeners looking for something easy and out of the ordinary.

Yes it is a neat well behaved palm very suitable for smaller gardens. I did try one at the beach and it just melted.I dont think I have ever had a palm die so quickly.
