Description

Dypsis Sp. 'Jurassic Park' has a homogeneous endosperm in the seed and Dypsis oropedionis is ruminate. The palms look similar but are a different species. (J.D. Andersen Nursery, Hawaii.)

Culture

"This Dypsis seems variable in size and colour not only of the new spear, but the leaf colour as well, which varies from the "darkest" green to some with lime green leaves, and this 1 with the red petiole has a mix of dark and light green. In the shade, these are very very slow, full sun they grow at a very good speed." (Pete) Cold Hardiness Zone: 10a

Comments and Curiosities

This species was thought to be D. tokoravina, but has been re-classified as an sp., edric.

This is a tillering palm, it exhibits saxophone style root growth (it has a heel), keep top third of heel above soil elevation!
