I noticed the other day that my dypsis arenarum hybrid is flowering on all 6 trunks at the same time. I thought it was pretty cool so I wanted to share a few pic's.

I'm also curious as to what the seedlings will turn out to be once I germinate some?

Josh, yours looks like a full-blooded arnie to me.

Shoot a picture when I can get one.

Hybrid with what? F2's may be variable but seed may not be fertile.

I was also thinking the seed may not be fertile. I'll try to germinate some and give it a go.

Dave, I was told this was crossed with lutescens or psammophila??? Every stock has branched and one has branched twice. Regular arnies are bushy. mine never suckers. I was told by another PSSC member he believes it is crossed with dypsis psammophila??

I'm not sure what to think...lol

It it growing faster than any other dypsis I have in my collection.

Hi Jeff, that is a great question? I'm not sure how cold hardy mine is since it is crossed with something else? I don't ever get any frost and my cold temp here in coastal Carlsbad over the winter was 39 F for 2 hours then shot up to 61F for the high that day.

I'm guessing D. arenarum are fairly cold hardy since I have a bunch of 1 gals at my vista ranch that took temps down to 32 F for 2 hours and never showed any cold damage.

I've had people say crossed with lutescens or psammophila?? the verdict is still out.

It is a really fast grower..

I've seen big clumps of regular old arenarum and mine looks very different.

I wish I knew what mine was crossed with??

Has anyone had a Dypsis-cross set viable seed? I don't know but I am of the mind that hybrids are sterile. Josh, it's no doubt, a hard question as to if this is a hybrid being as all the possibility palms look very much alike; almost like saying it's a Butia cross lol. Looks like a clean palm and if it sets good seed, I would vote pure arenarum(aren't there different forms of arenarum also--I remember Dean showing us a very colorful specimen that was just amazing?).

You bring up a good point. It's possible that mine is just a different form arenarum. It's not super colorful like most arenarum I've seen growing in California (I wish it was more colorful)

​I'm now very curious to see if the seed is viable :bemused:
