Neutral palmbob On Mar 4, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

Not one of the prettier palms from Madagascar, but it does have a nice pinkish new leaf that takes a week or two to fade back to green. This is one of at least 4 related species of Dypsis that branch and have 'hairy' fibre-covered trunks. They are generally understory palms and seem to tolerate sun better in the tropics. In Southern California they are slow, but pretty reliable growers if given some protection from winds, sun and extreme cold.
