Howdyall:

I still have a lot of room to plant, and I'm looking for Dypsis that are at least a bit drought tolerant. (D. fibrosa, crinita, et al, need not apply).

Some music, well, my place isn't quite THAT DRY. But to give the idea.

So, what Dypsis will take my good bad and ugly garden?

I know D. decaryi will, and saintluciei, sort of and saintluciei dwarf a lot more, but what about others?

That Backyard could use some Brahea Armata or Bismarkia's.  Can't remember if I saw any when I was there.    Or some Phoenix species.  There's some Drought tolerant for you lol.    Good luck on the Dypsis. I come to you for advice can't offer any.

Lots of Dypsis will tolerate very extended dry periods here...not sure how this compares with California dry though...

But Dypsis pembana is great, as is Dypsis sp.213, 215 etc Dypsis onilahensis is tough too.

Looks like I gave you a deficient tour!

There's a couple of P. rupicola in the back, and P. zylanica in the front.

And Brahea clara (one from Josh), plus B. brandeegii, X "Incredible Hulk", "Super Silver" and others. They are sure enough drought tolerant, but Palmgo (Mongo's cousin) want Dypsis!

The plants pictured are all direct seeded by natural means,they survive the entire dry without any watering.I think the direct seeding makes them much more tolerant of the dry conditions as the root system spreads more widely and possibly deeper.

The bottom photo is D.madagascariennsis. In general terms the we have rain for 5 months and are dry for 7 months,we can get late or early rain and the soil holds moisture for a period of time. Very different than southern California but an indication of their ability to withstand some fairly dry conditions.   Regards John

Okay, D. madagascarensis, too.

How about D. ankaizensis? Any thoughts on that one?

That's a hard one to find since it's just a "form" / Sp. of madagascarensis. Not a true species but just a name at the moment.

Larry Black has a great form of this growing in his garden Dave..
