I recently got a young Dypsis arenarum in my Floribunda order. I'm curious what I have to look forward to as it grows :yay:

Also, can the young plants take full sun right away?

Well, I must say it's not much to look at this age. I tried to get a pic of it this morning for the post but it was black out and the flash just made it a mess to look at. I'll get a pic this evening after work!

Here's one growing at my place; in ground for about 6 years. It decided to stay solitary, which is nice, as it doesn't take up much room. Besides the nice maroon push that these have, the stem is one of the prettiest around. I grabbed Brian as he was heading off to work at the zoo, to give a bit of scale..

These are obviously very closely aligned to D. lutecsens, but with some distinctions. The foliage is generally darker green, the maroon growing point more prominent, & the stem is waxier. I actually have a nice medium size clump of lutecsens growing that is not a lot different looking. (They're a lot prettier when not simply grown as an under-watered, under-fertilized hedge). Having said that, these arenariums look little like the pictures I've seen in books & online. Thanks for looking.

I believed Dypsis arenarum was a clustering species,

Is it like D. lutescens, rarely solitary, most of the time clustering?

I think you're correct. I actually picked this up at a local nursery (it was of Floribunda origin) as a 2-3 foot plant. I had a pretty good idea that it would stay solitary, since it was growing straight up & was a size that would have normally produced offshoots.

Actually, is Dypsis arenarum an interesting species to plant in a collection? or just a "kind of" Dypsis lutescens?

Great question. The answer is that I'm not sure. Nor am I sure that the palm we're all growing is the real arenarium. The ones I've seen like on the RPS website have a very dark, almost black stem.

THAT is the one I am hoping I have! THE BLACK STEM, :wub: rather than lutescens-looking. What is with the variation? arenarum/lutescens hybrids? I am not seeing black in the pics above.

In the examples on the Palmpedia page http://www.palmpedia.net/wiki/Dypsis_arenarum, I am hoping my specimen will be like the ones with the maroon/red and black trunk. It was rather difficult for me to get decent pics of my young specimen because it is so scrawny. I can't wait to see what it becomes! I'll post my pics in a new comment...

 Jeff's Arenarum offerings now are totally different from the stuff others have been selling as that palm for years. I think we finally have the real deal in what Marcus has. Those babies look like the babies we saw on Île Sainte-Marie. ( from LJG another thread)

Good hopes !

:yay: THAT ROCKS! I'm psyched!!

I will post updates when I notice growth! Might not be until spring because we're going into winter here and it gets quite chilly in my neck of Naples but maybe it'll surprise me and be another "warmer" winter!

Finally got around to taking a few pics of what I'm pretty sure,  a D. arenarum that had it's origin from Floribunda. 

Looks like the others posted with the red petiole. 

got to get this in the ground.....somewhere!

I am not a big fan of this lutescens look-a-like. If I had known how similar looking it was to the golden garbage palm, I prolly wouldn't have pulled the trigger on this. I can see the differences and if tomorrow, the experts said this is just a variation of lutescens, I could see that too.

golden garbage palm, !!!!

With my name, I can't say that some palms have strange family names :D
Anyway, with "golden" every name starts nicely.

More seriously, I share Andrew's opinion, if D. arenarum is just a form close to D lutescens at the point that one rarely can identify it, it's not so interesting.
What does Jeff Marcus say?
or other Jeff Palm-experts?
