A palm that will prove to be one of the best new introductions for temperate and subtropical areas. Anyone who has tried to grow Dypsis lutescens in cold regions and failed should give this one a try. It is similar in looks to the former, but, originating from the mountains of Madagascar up to 2400 m (8000 ft), it is considerably more tolerant of cold temperatures and frost.
