Here are some pics of a few plants I bought as dypsis malcomberi.  Is anyone else growing these and if so any pics.  I would like to see a pic of a larger plant to see what I have to look forward too!  It looks a lot like the infamous mealy bug  but it has a lot more dark red color.

Nick,

I picked up some of "that" version of Malcomberi too. It most resembles what the POM desribes also, but it also says they are found in areas near the Manajerensis too, maybe a "hybrid"?  I have JDA's Malcomberi too, now being referered to as the "Orange crush". I also managed to aquire one of Jeff Searles Malcomberi which he is pretty sure its not also, but he/we are not sure WHAT it is. Kinda looks like a more robust different colored Baronii type palm.  I like to have all 3 with the "same" name, but so very different. :D

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!
