Triangle Palm

(Dypsis decaryi)

The Triangle palm is one of the most unique of all landscape palms in appearance, due to the very precise three-planed arrangement of the fronds. Though a true crown shaft is not formed, the fronds grow from the trunk in three distinct vertical rows and the wide tightly overlapping leaf bases form a stocky triangle above the short trunk.  Long “reins” frequently hang down from the blue green leaves, giving it a bold appearance in the landscape. The Triangle palm prefers full sun and well drained soil, but will tolerate some degree of drought once it is established.
