So yours gives a salmon color? Mine is usually a dull maroon color. I expect they are quite variable, but alway thrilling!

Very nice! The perfect looking palm. Hope mine gets as nice as yours soon. Then avoids the dreaded “sudden death syndrome “ that these are sometimes known for. Quirky things to grow around here for some reason..

Glad to see this palm does so well for you in Ca., certainly a nice addition to any garden. Gotta love that colorful new leaf as well.

I'm confused,  is D. marojejyi the same as D. coursii, or are they different species?  Thanks for your comments

Darold,

I’m going from memory here, as there are some much more astute guys on the forum regarding Dypsis. There was some discussion that what we’re growing was in fact coursii, I think based on the fact that it seemed to be a smaller palm than the marojejyi. (So yes, they are described as different palms). But after close examination of the flowers (at Floribunda I presume), they were ID’d to be in fact marojejyi. Anyway, that’s my feeble brains recollection.

Yes Bret - I believe your "feeble brain" has the most recent appraisal of that situation correct. :) Which leaves me with the next question of "Does anyone have D. coursii in cultivation?"

It is a similar palm from much higher elevation - perhaps a great candidate for Calif. gardens.

If I could find the real deal I would be happy to be a beta site!  I think I could find room somewhere for it.  By the way, I had two that I acquired as marojejyi which suddenly died.  One here in Leucadia and one before that in Carlsbad.

I'm about to germinate a few of these, live in coastal Sydney, thought I'd give them a go. Anyone tried germinating these, any tips?

Seen 106 F.  Filtered sun at best.  Always kept wet.  Seems to grow better when it gets cool/cold at night. Slows down mid Summer. Loves water.

These generally match my observations as well.

So none of your marojejyi are in full sun ever?  I have a primo spot that gets late afternoon sun.  Is that a "NO NO" for this palm?

You are closer to the beach than me, so you have a better chance at direct exposure.  Others might have theirs in more exposure than mine. Maybe why mine grows so slow. ha ha

It would be a perfect candidate for Albany I would think. I’ve been looking for it for a while to grow here in Melbourne.

Those looks great Tom and Matt for California I think the dense planting around it helps with the humidity keep us up on the progress of your palm how long has it been in the ground and how old do you think these are

Mine was planted out as a 3gl...a long time ago now.

seven or eight years is a guess.

It doesn't seem to grow tall for me but the base is getting fat.

Can't give it enough water.

I’ve germinated them before, and they even grew a bit through a perth winter but I think they were dead by late spring in Perth. Too hot despite full shade and humidity.

Wow, if that was a 2 leaf seedling 6 months ago then you need to come and foster my 4” plant for 6-8 months for me!  Mine is barely growing! 

Looks great John.

Quite impressive Matt.  Like Adam, this is one I need to try again.  I killed one while I still lived in Carlsbad, probably damp cold during winter, and the second I killed after bringing a potted one to Leucadia.  The challenge will be finding a spot to plant it.

I’ve held off on trying one of these for so long. I think it’s time I try. You guys are growing some spectacular specimens.

No excuses for me not to try this one again once I carve out a spot in the garden for it.  Great work Matt!
