Neodypsis
decari
This unique and beautiful palm specimen is
highly desired in many Southern California
palm gardens. Native to Madagascar, the Neodypsis
grows well in our area when planted properly.
The leaf bases are arranged tightly in a three-plan
view, giving the Neodypsis its unique triangular
look. A trunk will eventually form beneath
the leaf bases giving the illusion of a triangular
crown shaft. This palm makes a wonderful statement
in the landscape and is generally planted
as a single. Multiples can dominate so careful
planning is a must. If planted in a windy
area, keep the Triangle hydrated but do not
over water. Frequent feeding is also necessary
to maintain the proper appearance. Its leaves
will reach a span of 12 feet and will grow
moderately fast.
