Dypsis decipiens

Dypsis decipiens Details

Dypsis decipiens, commonly known as The Manambe Palm, is a stunning plant suited to smaller gardens. It is renowned for its large and showy, dark green fronds which are borne as a crown. The trunk has an interesting swollen section which adds a further element of interest to this tree. It is slow growing and will eventually reach 6 m tall and 4 m wide. Best results with this Palm are achieved when it is planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site. It will be damaged by frosts and is therefore not suited to cool climate regions. Dypsis decipiens makes a lovely specimen and is well suited to courtyard gardens, planting around outdoor living areas, including in a tropical garden, adding to a mixed planting, or maintaining in a container.
