Description
The Triangle Palm ( Dypsis decaryi) is one of the more attractive palm species. It is characterized by its meticulously arranged fronds that form the shape of a triangle.
What makes the Triangle Palm so conducive to first time palm planters is that it grows extremely well whether indoors or outdoors. Because of its beautiful and unusual shape, they are a favorite to plant for enthusiasts and hobbyists.
The unusual shape and coloring of the triangle palm makes it a boldly artistic and formal landscape accent.
Instead of a typical crownshaft, triangles have overlapping leaf bases that form on three distinct sides.
The leaves and stems are a unique powder blue-gray or gray-green.
This palm always catches the eye – creating an elegant focal point wherever it’s placed in the landscape.
This also means it will draw attention away from other landscape elements, so it’s best used alone or as pairs rather than in rows or groups.
The triangle is a slow to moderate grower to 20 or 25 feet.
Very drought-tolerant once established, it does fine in sun to part shade anywhere in Zone 10.
