Triangle Palm Spears

[Knnn]

Hoping these hold on to some of their color as they get older, always a nice show

Steve do you want some freshly popped seeds of these with the first strap leaf starting? I can bring down 10-12 of them if you want.

I can always find room for more

I have a bunch of stuff to send your way, ( if you have room?), let me know when you will be out this way, or I might be able to swing by one of these evenings.

I would REALLY like to make it up some time this week. I'll try to give you a warning as I usually know by 8:00 am what I am doing that day.
These Triangles came from Robert Chumley already germinated and are growing at an alarming rate with the heat (except the last few days )

Sounds Good, I'll start sorting stuff out for you.

Here is a picture of the two Triangles, Dypsis decaryi, Hard to make out, but they are just about in the middle of the photo.

Love the stripes on the new fronds, and the mottled stems of older ones.
Very attractive.

Not yet Steve but early October I'll have some free time, and I plan to do a whole day looking around.
Probably won't make it past the first box store

Good luck in your search!

Some Triangle Palm trivia

* Through evolution, this palm developed a trunk with a unique three-sided appearance unlike any other palm.

* Previously near extinction, all of today's Dypsis decaryi are from one surviving palm.

New spears opening,

Super pic Steve!
When I first saw Dypsis' unique shape, decided I wanted one.

Yours looks very robust as the spear opens. Also liked the stripe/mottled colouring in earlier photo.
Thanks for that informative link!
