Dypsis decipiens 4-years, 11-months on
Hi there - Summer is just around the corner, so i thought i would post an update on my Dypsis decipiens and then one in Autumn next year. This December it will have been planted out 5-years. In that time the coldest overnight low was -4.7°c ( 23.5°f ) - It sustained some foliage damage, but was fine. They are much slower in growth ( In my climate ) than my Rhopalostylis sapida "pitt island" Nikaus - I would say half the speed. I would rate it a -5°c Palm here in New Zealand, but it is going to take a long time before i see some trunk ( Maybe another 10-years ) So here it is today.
Here it is 5-Years ago.

Nice one Rod love the red of the new growth, a palm that is out of our reach here in the UK, is your Aloe in the old pic still going strong?

I would look at its growth like I would any nice Cycad. If it trunks in my lifetime- a bonus!

Lovely palm! Unable for my area so I need to stick with Phoenix canariensis.

Beautiful looking plant, I wish they could grow faster too! The Dypsis growing at the Botanic Gardens has lost the smallest stem(well, I don't think it will grow back) and I hope it won't affect the other stem(the big one). The small stem put on growth way too late last autumn and the first heavy frost burnt it(same story with the Ceroxylon). The Jubaea is growing well at the moment and Arenga micrantha has opened a huge new frond. I have some seedlings of Washingtonia filifera, Phoenix dactylifera and Trachycarpus wagnerianus in stock and Phoenix sylvestris, Trachycarpus princeps, Chamaedorea microspadix& radicans almost ready to be planted.
