Dypsis lutescens - Single-Stemmed Butterfly Palm

Andrew, how many years does it take to reach this height?

That's a lovely one .

Bathgate:

It takes many years. I'm guessing this palm is over 30 years old, possible 40 years old. It just depends if it gets regular water and fertilizer. I know I've seen them grow from a 5 gallon-sized plant to 12' in 5 -7 years.

I have a D. lutescens in my front yard and it had three trunks, now only 1 trunk because of the horrible drought conditions here. It's been in the ground for 6 years and is only 6' tall.

Penny, thanks! I really love palms!

So do I you s have so many different kinds over there. I have two in big pots that can 😊 with stands our weather not sure what the name is though I call them fan palms.

Are you sure its not some other Dypsis?..that trunk is massive.

Penny, you probably have the Windmill Palm. lol! It's a very hardy palm. I've seen many growing in Europe.

Dypsis lutescens is a highly variable tree. It's definitely a single trunked tree. It's very tall, probably the tallest one I've seen in south California.
