Filling in nicely.  Things only seem to accelerate the further down the line one gets.  You start by thinking how do I create canopy, then finally get to the point that you don't have room for anything else except understory.

Beautiful! I hope you have been able to enjoy the shade provided by your expanding palm cover. Looks like a great place to hang out.

No. It’s actually just a straight Dypsis decaryii. It has a lot of red fuzz. When I bought it it was in a pot that had Dypsis leptocheilos crossed off the pot. I was hoping maybe it was a tri-bear but turns out just a decaryii. Some have black fuzz others more reddish fuzz. Mine has the red fuzz.
